Yesterday my work had a holiday lunch -- theme was italian and I ate waaay too much. Way too much! I seriously should have stopped after appetizers. But I didnt and I have been regretting it ever since. I had probably nevet eat that large of an amount since being banded. The portion was much smaller than preband but nonetheless, too much for my band. I just got a 5 cc fil last monday (1st one). I began to really feel miserable about 30 min later. My side hurt, my back hurt. I couldnt drink for the rest of the afternoon. It felt like the Water would just sit in my chest. I didnt eat dinner last night bc i was too full. I slept fine last night...no reflux, no vommitting. Today i feel like crud still. My neck hurts, i have the chills, and again, no desire to eat bc i feel stuffed. Its hard to drink water. I did eat 2 oz of chicken at lunch today bc it had been 24 hrs since i ate. The food goes down fine, no pressure in my chest. I have felt nauseous off and on all day today. And my burbs....they are hideous.....they are like 2 minute long sqeeks...so gross. How long am i going to physically feel like this? Is this all from overeating or could i be getting sick? Chills, neck hurting...seems weird to come from over eating. I do not have a fever. I hope i didnt screw something up with my band. I am paranoid and mad at myself. It was so not worth it.

To clarify....i began to feel bad about 30 min after lunch yesterday....NOT after my fill. I have felt great ever since my fill. This all started yesterday. My fill was 9 days ago.

Iam sure the stomach problems are from over indulging but it sounds to me as if you may also picked up a cold or flu bug as well but if you want to be sure call your Dr and tell them what you are experiencing and ask if you have only just over indulged or if you might have a cold coming on as well

Yes, I think you have a bug or something,.... maybe too many combinations of food.....but I'm no expert

Thanks for the replies. I woke up today an feel fine. I must havr had a bug but I def feel like some of it was due to when I overate. Funny how you read about things on this board but until it actually happens to you, you dont "get it."

We have to find a way to retrain our 'eye-full' as our upper belly (pouch) isn't going to stand so much food. It pretty much was satisfied with 'appetizers' for most of the first year. Around month 7 postOp, I got a 2 piece fish & chips lunch.....and took home enough for the next 2 meals.

Changing our perceptions of food volume takes close attention. I still use smaller dishes as they can be visually full without the old habit of trying to clean my plate and over eat.
