Hi I am a little over a week out of surgery. I started mushies yesterdat and everytime I try to eat them I get a side ache in my left side that lasts for an hour or so. Has anyone else had this or know what it is? :biggrin:

I'm not sure if its same thing but I read in another post that someone got aches in shoulder when they ate too much (gas?) maybe... I'm not getting banded until Aug 5 and going to same doc as you... I feel confident about doc but nervous about procedure in general - that maybe somehow it just won't work for me. Did you feel good about hospital? Doc? Hotel? thanks, sorry, I'm not able to help yet.

Yeah I know the gas in my shoulder feeling. This is different. Its lower and deep in my side. I think Im going to go back to liquids for the rest of the weekend till I talk to the Dr on Monday.

Majpie-If you want to know about my experiance with the Dr, hospital there, and hotel, you can go into my thread in July bandsters called "my mexico thread" Here is the link http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18165/my-mexico-thread-98183/ It documents the whole experiance day by day as I was there getting banded with Dr Rumbaut. And if you have any other questions that arnt in there, just private message me. :tongue2:

I couldn't eat mushies until week 3 and by then I was pretty healed and it didn't hurt. If it still hurts on Monday call your surgeon and ask.

Some people say that the ache in the left side is a sign of being full. Remember that being full will feel different now than it ever did before. Hopefully that's all this is. :tongue2:
