I had my surgery in late August, and my second fill last Wednesday. I am now having pain when I eat, although nothing has come back up. Is pain normal, or do I need to go back to liquids for a couple of days? If I do, will the pain subside??

I dont think pain is normal. I would check with your doctor ASAP. My band is very tight and I cant each much but I have never experienced pain. Gas, yes. PBing, yes. Pain, never.

I already checked with my doctor, who said that I was eating bites that were too big, and eating and drinking at the same time-- both no no's. He recommended that I go back on liquids for a day or two, then mushies, then regular food with the modifications mentioned above. I did all that, and now everything is fine. Thanks for the thoughts.

I too am feeling some pain. I was told it was probably eating too fast and/or big bites. I was wondering if it is the same kind of pain? Mine is just at my breastbone after I take a few bites. Is that what you have?

BY pain, Are you talking about that "golf ball" feeling where something you ate is clearly going to come back up (PB)??

nope - not the golf ball, and nothing comes back up - more like a mild burning in my breast bone. Before this last fill I had the same feeling when I ate dry chicken breast.
