I am about 6 weeks post op and most things have been going well. I am not too restricted in the mornings but yet I do wake to like a lump in my throat. In the afternoons are a different story, after I eat lunch around noon, I feel full the remainder of the day (maybe restricted) I use the word full becasue that is how I feel but I only eat until I am satisfied.

So yesterday, I went to Knotts berry Farm and was ok except for the full feeling in my stomach. I only had a small cup of berry punch- NO food.

So this morning I woke hungy and I usually do not eat until 9ish. So I warmed up some black Beans and rotisserie chicken and after about 5 bites, I knew this was not going to agree with me

Before I could even get up from the table, it was coming back up. Not a good feeling. I still feel like I have a lump in my throat. It has been about an hour or so and I have not had anything else, not sure when I can drink something. I think I stay on liquids the remainder of the day.

Thanks for reading, if you have any advice go for it.

I usually have problems in the early in AM with restriction. You should feel better in the afternoon. Hot drinks usually help because they decrease inflammation from the irritation caused by the food being stuck. I have been banded for 3 years and cannot handle chicken. I recently found that it is easier for me to eat dark meat than white ( I think because it is too dry). Hope that you feel better and good luck.
