Is this because of gas?

I had my 3rd fill a couple of weeks ago, and after that adjustment things have been ideal. I've lost 8lbs in just shy of 2 weeks. I was having very slow weightloss and a lot of problems with food getting stuck. Not anymore, I'm in band heaven right now.

This past weekend, I was worthless. By worthless I mean I slept constantly, sort of had the blues, laid around and did nothing. Yesterday I felt full all day, even though I didn't eat anything. I actually felt like one would feel after finishing off Thanksgiving dinner. Just full, and miserable. I had gas, it was obvious, I was burpy. I chewed on a couple of gas x and felt much less full. But I still never got hungry yesterday and eating was unimaginable.

Today I woke up and I was actually hungry. I drank some Water, and at lunch I had some chicken. It was very moist and there was no problem with getting stuck or anything, but it hurt like hell when it hit my stomach. I felt like my stomach was cramping up and sore. After just a couple of bites, I started with the burping and hiccuping.

Can this be because of gas? Is my tummy full of gas from not moving around this weekend? I feel so full! It's like I'm having something like hunger pangs but if I were to eat, it would make my stomach cramp. No nausea, no vomiting, no sickness, just a general crampy and full feeling.

It's irritating me.

I'm having the same thing!!! Except my stomach is making horrendous noises. It sounds like a war in there. I had a few bites of chicken salad on Saturday, and about 45 minutes after eating it, my tummy started to hurt. Then is got progressively worse until I was in excrutiating pain. It was awful. I sent my husband for some gas-x. It took about 20 minutes but I finally felt better. But I've had unusual amounts of gas for the past 4 days. What's up with that? Are we doing something wrong?

I sound like I have a litter of puppies playing in my tummy! I have never had this problem before, and like I said the past 2 weeks have been so great.

I had my surgery Nov. 20th of 08. I had stalled, and was having some problems with getting stuck, sliming, etc. Then I went in and he put a tad more in, and I started really paying attention to what and how I eat, making a conscious effort to focus on Protein. With the fill, I could totally tell the difference between full and stuck, I was doing fantastic. Well I am doing fantastic, except for this weird thing going on.

It has to be the gas. I'm capable of eating and drinking, I just don't want to because I feel so freaking full that I am miserable!
