Hi all. I was given the ok-go for solids a week ago but am experiencing pain when I eat. It is almost like too much gas is near my ribcage. I only feel good doing liquids. My band has no cc's yet, so I don't know how much irritation is going on but I am still afraid. Anyone else experience pain? Even drinking too much causes it.

When was your surgery?

If drinking is causing pain, I would call your doctor and let him/her know what is going on. The gas can last for a long time, but I don't think liquids should cause pain. But you're only 5 weeks out, and could still have swelling.

Did you gradually move into solids; mushy foods for a couple of weeks, then slowly adding in various solids? They key to the diet progression is to go verrrry slow. But liquids, when consumed slowly (a couple of small sips at intervals) shouldn't cause pain. Touch base with your doctor.
