Hi, I'm 9 months post-op and am having horrible pain in my middle back after eating . . . any suggestions? This hits after only a couple of bites, especially in the evening.

wow I was just looking up stuff on this...I just got done eating. Ate quite a bit...as I am pre-fill(2 cups). I had hamburger helper...with half the noodles...mainly Protein lol... But this is the first time I've really ate this much and it went down fine. Anyway my pain is kind of dull throbbing or a gassy feeling in my chest...just upper chest/back...not my stomach... where exactly in your back is your pain

my pain (gas) over eating is in my back and I have to start walking... I have never had gas in my stomach but my back pain can bring me to my knees

I'm getting a back ache in my back after eating almost nothing. Very strange. Its like after you wear a heavy backpack all day . . .

When I had this it was severe reflux,, others I know who have had this pain ended up with gallstones. It happens to me when I eat Peanut Butter with certain breads.. If it keeps happening make sure you call the doctor so they can check things out!!

i have had the same issue and usally that indicates that I need an adjustment. Once I go to have the adjustment the pain goes away. I can't keep anything down at this point, not even liquid.< /p>

OMG! :w00t: I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PAIN IN THE UPPER PART OF MY BACK. IT OCCURS AFTER EATING TOO MUCH.....I THINK RESTRICTION MANIFEST DIFFERENTLY IN EVERYONE AND THIS MAY BE OURS....I MENTIONED THIS TO MY SURGEON AND HE SAID THE SAME THING....WE NEED TO EAT LESS.

EVEN WITH YOU ONLY EATING A FEW BITES, THAT TOO MAY BE TOO MUCH....I ON THE OTHER HAND....APPARENTLY HAVE EYES BIGGER THAN MY STOMACH AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!!!

I JUST ATE WAY TOO MUCH...CUZ I'M HUNGARY AND I HAVE THE FEELING NOW. THE ONLY THINGS THAT HELP ARE GULPING SUPER HOT Water WITH A TINY BIT OF meat TENDERIZOR OR WALKING...AND WHO WANTS TO DO THAT AFTER A MEAL????

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
