band placed 2 days ago, is it hunger or fullness

[Laura P 0]

I got my band 2 days ago, early morning. I am now on full liquid diet. I'm not sure what I'm feeling...hunger or fullness. My gut is rumbling really bad. My stomach feels like its up in my throat at times. I'm not nauseaous but do have a lot of discomfort lower abd near incision with movement. I'm walking a lot. Occassional small nonproductive burps and having diarrhea. Is this normal? I'm also having a hard time sleeping, if i'm too flat in bed, i feel some reflux like feelings or pressure. Anyone experience this?

I had that up to my throat feeling; but I don't think I was really hungry. (I still get that 5 months out)

I also slept in the recliner for a week and that was great.

But no burps or diaarhea.

By any chance did you have a hiatal hernia repaired?

Keep walking and hang in there. When to get to mushies it made all the difference for me.

Also drink, drink, drink.

Good luck! I am sure you will do great. Each day gets better.

I wonder if the doctor left a fill in your band? Of course it could be just post op swelling. Try not to drink within an hour of lying down.

Best wishes,
