Possibly overate?

[Jess55 97]

Last night for dinner I may have eaten a little to much and that includes some bread. I do not have any fill yet. Ever since then my stomach has been bothering me. Just uncomfortable, not unbelievable pain or anything. I still am getting a little hungry, not like I have been though.

Do you think I should go to Protein shakes for the rest if the day and maybe tomorrow? Not sure if it is just that I ate to much and irritated something. I also had a hiatal hernia repair during surgery. DO you think I could have done any real damage?

How many days post op are you? Are you supposed to be on solids? I might go to liquids for a day. You could be swollen from over eating.

I was banded 12/20. And yeah Ive been in solids for like 3 weeks

I doubt you've harmed yourself. But if really concerned, call your doctor. That's one of the things that banding requires.. support from the bariatric professionals.

I wouldn't go to liquids UNLESS you're having pain or issues with getting stuck. One of the cardinal guidelines of banding is no liquid calories, once past the healing phase. Make sure what you do eat is cut in very small bites, size of a #2 pencil eraser and chew well.

Make yourself a cup of hot tea of whatever flavor you like and sip on it a bit. That may make you feel better.

Good luck.

Yeah I was told not to do liquid calories, but it was just a thought. I will try for dinner to cut smaller and chew better and see if it feels ok
