I all, i have a few questions, i was fielledon monday and i dont think this has anything withthat as i was having this before -

I have a discomfort feeling in my stomache, below my sternu, but in my stomache, with a little pain and growling and gurlging lol sometimes witha wave of nausea.. wondering what is going on.. am i not eating enough maybe?

I have lost 22 lb since the band on 10-13 no weight loss this week yet- i cant eat alot i feel very full very soon, is it common to have discomfort from not eating enough .?

what are the symptoms of an ulcer or band slippage do you think i need to worry about that at this point? could it be heart burn? any and all advice would be appriciated.

thank you !

Are you eating solid foods yet or are you still on the post-op diet?

HI -

I am on full foods, my dr does 2 weeks liquid and 2 weeks mushie, so ive been on food food for a little over a week.

still have protien shakes in the am as its all my stomache can really hand.

fyi, i just had lunch and after eating the pain and discomfort seems to be better - i have a small teeny sandwich and 4 triscuts with hummus.

Sounds like maybe you are experience hunger pains. If it persists you should probably let your doctor know just in case.

Thanks.. I did feel better after eating and the noises frommy belly went away lol -

now i am trying to figure out what the "full" feeling i am watching for is like.. After i eat i get this light pressure feeling right in middle of my breast bone..I am assuming that is where the band is and that feeling is that i am full....

i feel so pathetic not knowing when i am full and i think i am not eating enough --- i am only getting in like 500-600 cals a day...

I would go back to liquids for 12 hours then plan on really watching bite size and then really chew chew chew. You might have a little bit of swelling. Liquids won't hurt either way, but if you are still worried, call the doc.
