Can you feel your stomach and your band?

1st day of mushies and I swear I can feel the food in my belly and feel the band also.

I just am wondering if i am losing my mind or if any of you have had this feeling?

Nope. Not crazy. That is RESTRICTION! It is awesome! Respect it and you will have no problems!

best of luck!

yeah i used to be able to feel it go through the band... not anymore.. or maybe i have just gotten used to it..

Cheers to my fellow practice mate....

I TOTALLY have the same thing - although it has started to subside. I took advantage of it to learn the new flow of my body if you will :)

your right. i had my lap band surgery on tuesday so its been 2 days. i can feel everything. i have to relearn my body most important i have to listen and feel it. no pain though, just new feelings. i have to say so far i like them. i know the band is there and doing it's job.

How can you tell if it is gas, food, restriction, or hunger?! LOL~ i'm so confused! i feel something i just dunno what it is!

When I drank part of a protein shake this morning, I definitley knew when to stop. I could feel it. Weird.

the 1st few day I totally could not tell the difference... but not that the gas is mostly gone.. I can distinctly feel hunger and gas and fullness. I was banded 7 days before you ... It will definitely come !
