What to you experience when you are "done" eating?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 2/20/2013, I am 15 lbs from goal weight. I was wondering what everyone experiences when they are "done" eating and if my experience is typical. First thing that happens is that my nose runs, then I start hiccupping. If I take another bite, then I have pain and I have to stop. Period. Sometimes I can wait, and the food finally goes down, if not, I am running to the bathroom to throw up. It comes up pretty much as it went down. dinner is over. There are some days everything goes down fine. There will be a day or two in a row that nothing seems to be going down except liquid. I get worried that maybe my band has slipped. The next day everything is back to normal again. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks for your input.

lately large burps...! and if I try to continue to eat it feels like what I did eat wants to come back up, there has never been a day that I can't eat, but there are days that it has to be soft foods.. I know sometimes its a mental thing just used to eating and eating and I admit sometimes when I forget to take small bites I do tend to eat more, but boy do I feel it, my lapband sticks out like a golfball.

I get sleepy. If I eat a little more than I should, I get pain in the upper part of my back/shoulder.

I used to get those signals. Now, occasionally I'll get a hiccup or two but mostly I start to feel pressure near my sternum where the pouch is so I stop for a while to see if it stays or goes away.

That's pretty much what I feel, a pressure in sternum that is.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
