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.

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 . . .

I was just banded on Friday, and I was feeling the same thing. I almost turned off my alarm to fake going back to bed. The absolut worst part of the surgery is over in a few days. We have the rest of our lives to be strong and really LIVE! That is what I want. Roller coasters, and mountain hikes, and to walk down the aisle on an airplane without turning sideways. So I don't care that every other commercial is food, or that I belch like a truck driver now - this too shall pass! You can do it! I didn't even fill the pain prescription! You can do it!

I was banded on 11/9 and I know what you mean! I woke up yesterday hungry and it hasn't gone away. But I know with all of the activity in my stomach from the gas, that this might be mistaken as hunger, when it is really just grumbling . . . I don't feel week, or tired like I need to eat. So I am chalking this up to stomach activity! I can't wait - tomorrow I get to add 1-2 ounces of egg beaters or cottage cheese. I know it will taste like heaven!
