or can you feel anything. I woke up this morning feeling full, gassy and uncomfortable. I am passing gas like a mad person. If I take a deep breath it feels tight under my chest bone like I feel like I ate too much and have indigestion or I am really hungry, can't decide. I am sure I am freaking a bit and it is just gas (had beans for dinner last night and they might not be settling with me). I haven't had anything to eat in 12hrs. I haven't tried to eat or drink.

Or.................I am getting the flu that is going around - ugh.

every morning i wake up (with a feeling of being very full) although i hadnt ate for about 11 or 12 hours.....

i dont know if its because i was lying flat or what but this is how it has

been since i have had surgery. i dont have the tight under my breast as you but i

do know i couldnt eat right now..(i can drink just fine)

did you get your flu shot yet? i def need to go get mine. our office here at work, seems everyone is sick and calling out .....dreading that and hope it stays away from me.

I wake up with zero appetite and when I try to eat, it feels very tight and uncomfortable.

I just have a protein shake for breakfast every morning, mostly because of my band being tight in the mornings.

I don't have fluid in my band, I am only 3 weeks out. I almost feel like I did 2 days post op, just full and gassy........feels better when I stand. I know I am still healing, but I am sure those darn beans have something to do with it, and I am pretty sure the lunch I grabbed from the fridge has beans in it - yikes, I am sure I can find something else.

I will just take it easy today. I also just moved to my next stage of eating, more solids, meat, crackers etc, so it could just be a shock to the system after being on liquids for over a month.

Thanks ladies

My doctor said that at night when we lay down fluid pools in our mid sections which puts more presure on the stomach and band so we will tend to fill tighter in the am. I eat cereal every morning, which most say is a slider, but I love my special K, protein shakes give me horrible indigestion so I do cereal. Some don't do anything but water for the first couple of hours.

Each of us has to decided what works for us. The pressure and all you are discribing does sound like gas pains.

For me I wake up and my first thoughts are not...wow what can I eat....i get my coffee and sit to enjoy it then start to get my 5 lil ones up for school..and when i have to call alil bit louder for them to wake up...i feel a tightness that acually feels good....like a suttle fullness.....I get them all out the door...and usually sit and enjoy a greek yogurt with granola...or some egg whites....
