It's the first time and I'm feeling the pain really bad in my tummy. It feels like that constipated pain you get when you haven't gone for like a week but of course I'm not constipated.

Is there any way to make the pain go away fast? Please, I'm dying over here.

Seriously? That's all I can do, walk it off? That's what I'm doing right now. How long will this last?

I ate 3/4 of a pancake like a dummy. Never again, never again!!!!

Aside from throwing it up that's the only thing i can think of... I know that today I had some sushi and I got too full and the only thing I could do was wait it out...I felt that sushi was mushy enough to eat but I think I was wrong...Sorry you feel bad but I think we all go through it so we can learn what to eat and how much to eat...Good luck hope you feel better soon...

I would drink a lot of Water to wash it down. I ate guacamole and tortilla Soup (without the tortilla) tonight at Chevy's and I was really uncomfortable even though they were technically mushies. I drank water when I got home and felt better. It washed down. I am not letting my family take me out to eat anymore....or bring home ice cream. We all learn lessons.

Sometimes a drink of soda with fizz can cause an airbubble under the food and make you pb.

But I find tremendous relief in laying on the floor and arching my back up off the floor. This stretches everything out and can give me enough push to make the food move...

I haven't had stomach pain from overeating since being banded. If I overeat it hurst much higher up - where the band is. Just wondering how you can feel the pain in your stomach as normally the band lets you know before you get to that point.

Thanks everybody. I'm feeling much better today. Never again will I try eat pancakes. I didn't know it would be like bread in my stomach. I was fine until I got home 30 min laters and drank some Water. Then it was utter pain for 2 hours. It decreased once I began to stay on my feel. I didn't know pancakes could do that. I ate about 3/4 of one which I never do. I've stuck to my post op and now first fill diet to the max. Just one hiccup that I don't plan on testing again.

It was probably the drink on top of the pancake that caused the pain. Backed up your plumbing and couldn't get through. Your oesophagus is not meant to have stuff sitting in it, that causes pain :-(

Welcome to the steep part of the learning curve!!

I can only eat pancakes that are really thin and slightly crispier than normal, or crepes are fine for me.

Cornmeal pancakes or buckwheat pancakes are not a problem for me. And god bless america for sugar free pancake syrup! lol

You will learn over time if your band is too tight to allow any type of bread product type things for that day. It took me about 6 months to learn to know this. Its just a tight sensation in my tummy, not pain, just a tightness. Those are the days I know Buster is gonna give me problems if I eat anything other Protein and some veggies. I still cant eat potatoes or rice. But sometimes I can tolerate a few french fries or hashbrowns. But I can eat sweet potato fries with no problems.

Zen,

I love sushi but found it's too fibrous for me.

I just started "real" food on Friday and we had pancakes over the weekend... our 11 year old made them (and made gorgeous pancakes... I'm quite proud) and I had about 3/4 of one and knew instantly it was a mistake. PB, slime, all of it... hurt all day long. Friggin pancakes!!!

pancakes are rough...i think they get gummed up in there...lol. Generally drinking something when you are stuck makes things worse.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
