Have any of you ladies ever experienced pain under breast. I was banded on 1/8 and I get a pain under my left breast that seems to extend all the way to my back. I try to stretch but that does not seem to help. Its a cramping type pain. Maybe its my body trying to heal?????

:w00t: Also, can someone please explain what restriction is? Thanks

I was banded on 1/8/10 too...and i have some pain similar to that. It's under my left breast and it feels like a muscle tighting up. Sometimes it will go around to my back. I'm not sure what that is either. I see my doctor on Monday so I will find out something than. Everything else feels fine...it's just that tighting part under my breast that is a little uncomfortable. Other than that how are you eating?

I am still on the liquid diet that I was on pre-op; I can also do yogurt, sf Jello, pudding. I don't see my doc until 1/25; then I think I should go to mushies; how is your diet? I am so ready to eat something. I am really hungry.

My pain is under my left breast and feels like I have something stuck. It is not hard to swallow but threre is just pressure there. I had surgery on monday and go back to the doctor tuesday. This is the first discomfort I've felt except of course for the incision sites. Is this normal? I try to belch, but it does not help. Right now I have noooooo appetite.:w00t:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
