Newly banded and think I have band tightness from TOM swelling

[honk 780]

Hi I will be three weeks out from sugery tomorrow. I have been doing really well; able to consume my liquid diet but also not often feeling hungry between meals (only if I go like 6 hours between eating). Well I am I PMS big time and I have started to get a tightness feeling in the center of my back. Not painfull really and at the back of my through feels kind of swollen. I have no trouble swallowing Water, taking pills, and last night had a pudding cup (did'nt feel hungry enough to have soup). I had been on Zytec for a post surgery rash and I wonder if that was helping with internal swelling. Now that I stopped taking that I think I am swelling big time.

I've read here that some woman feel significantly more restriction during TOM and I wonder if the short time since my surgery and PMS are magnifying the experience.

Since I can eat and drink and don't have any pain I have'nt called my doctor. Anyone else have similar experience post op?

I definitely experience increased restriction during PMS and the beginning of TOM. If I am swollen for another reason (recent fill, for example), it is really magnified.

TOM makes a huge difference to me, I can hardly eat , its really bad in the morning.
