It could be you are eating to fast or taking large bites. I make chicken breast with salsa and sometimes I think the spiciness irritates my pouch. Please note that my doctor says if you can't eat 3oz of solid Protein you are to tight. Could that be your problem?

This is usually my cue that I have eaten too much. Like right now (ugh).

[tnt21705 8]

maybe a combo of eating too fast and maybe too much. I am still learning.

Mine hurts to sometimes...but it will be later on in the evening way after I have eaten...strange. Doesn't happen all the time though. It did hurt yesterday and I wondered if I had ate to much Easter lunch yesterday? Banded 3/16/11

Thats usually a clue for me that I've eaten too much, taken too big of a bite, or eaten way too fast.

Usually means I have eated too fast, eaten something that is going to disagree with my band that day or just plain too much!

That's your cue you are full! I remember post surgery I thot that was so wierd, but it was a way that I knew when I needed to stop! It is hard to learn to feel when you are full - you will in time. Even now, though, if I eat something too fast I get that pain - it is like something is stuck there. No fun!

For me,, I measure my food. If it says 4oz. I'm good right ! NO WAY ! I have to stop at 3oz. that's when I start to feel that pouch get full. If I go the extra 1oz. it hurts ! ! ! So it's 3 for me, and in a while if I want,I can go back and get the other ounce.

I was banded last Tuesday and I woke up with sharp pain under breast bone area yesterday and today. I had some pain in upper chest before. I called my doc's office and spoke with the nurse. She said it could be the air/ gas from surgery moving in my body. I guess everyone is different. Some people don't even get the gas pains. I hope it goes away for us soon!

I was just banded on the 18th (4/18) and on Easter I decided that I couldn't stand the liquid anymore and really wanted some mushie stuff. I wasn't digging into the ham or anything like that but I tried some mashed sweet potatoes and some mashes potato salad....and I took too big of bites and I got that uncomfortable stuck feeling. I sat up straight took a little drink and down it went. Not painful but uncomfortable....sort of like "whoa, slow down". It is going to be a process to learn and breaking old habits. I think that is what you are feeling. I'm not supposed to be "eating" anything yet but this liquid is OLD! I don't have any fill yet and won't get one till June.....slow down, small bites and chew chew chew. I will have to remind myself of this alot!
