Can you feel your stomach and your band?



Recommended Posts

1st day of mushies and I swear I can feel the food in my belly and feel the band also.

I just am wondering if i am losing my mind or if any of you have had this feeling?

Cheers to my fellow practice mate....

I TOTALLY have the same thing - although it has started to subside. I took advantage of it to learn the new flow of my body if you will :)

the 1st few day I totally could not tell the difference... but not that the gas is mostly gone.. I can distinctly feel hunger and gas and fullness. I was banded 7 days before you ... It will definitely come !
