I never suffered from stomach aches before I had the band installed, but tonight after I had an iced doughnut (yes, I know - it was a bad choice, but to my credit, it was my first since my surgery) I have had an awful stomach ache, and have felt a bit queesy. I had no problems getting it down, that was a bit of a shock, I thought that it would get stuck like bread, but it didnt.

Is this normal after eating a higher fat, suger loaded food item?

How are you feeling now??

I cannot do high sugar before the band and have not tried it now that I'm banded. I would always get a stomach ache.

Hope it passed and your feeling better.

Sam,

I am SO glad you brought this up!

I NEVER eat donuts, but 2 weeks ago I ate 2 choc covered donut's, probably the first time since Ive been banded.

Anyhow, about 30 minutes afterwards I started feeling bad REALLY bad. Actually felt like a gallbladder attack. DEFINATELY not the "stuck" feeling. This was completely different. Like I said, it was comparable to a gall-stone trying to pass. About 4 hours later everything was better.

hmmmmmm, I wonder if we are the only ones that have had problems with donuts?

I can promise you, it will be a LOOOONG time till I have another one!

I can't think of a higher fat & sugar loaded deal than an ice cream sundee with whiped cream, Cookies AND brownies... Felt just fine afterwards....

Perhaps it was the bread like quality of the donuts?
