After almost 6 weeks post op, I finally felt the restriction and oh boy is it uncomfortable. I microwaved one of those Hormel pot roasts and made some mashed tators. I took 1/4 cup of tators plus a tiny chunk of beef and sat down with a mag to eat, not paying attemtion to my signals and before you know it I had eaten all of it.

Crap, now I know what it feels like, my chest hurts and I have a headache.

Crap what have I done?

Remedies? Should I lie down?

I just ride it out. Drinking only makes it worse for me. In about 20 minutes, I feel better. Walking might help.

It should pass pretty quickly. 15 minutes max. If you haven't thrown up already, you will just have that pain for a bit. I learned that lesson, too.

Ohh I have done this!! Walking will help a bit but it will go away soon. It sucks but we really have to pay attention when we eat haha

Yes- just give your body time. 15-20mins usually is enough, on occasion it has made me throw up. It's definitely a learning process. Hang in there- it will pass.
