[rachelcummings 2]

And Dr, already started me on regular food but just be cautious.. I had the Iband done so for another 2 weeks i will have no restrictions untill my first fill on the 26th. My question/problome is Today for lunch i hade captin d's and i finished 2 pc. of fish(with batter on it) I have been feeling sick with like a burning and extream fullness in my stomach. I have a feeling that i might have over stuffed my belly. I did take 2 maalox and tis hasent helped at all Im not eating for the rest of the night hoping this will eventally subside.. Anyone else experienced this feeling.. I feel so guilty now.

Rachel, my doctor put me on mushies 2 weeks post-op, perhaps the fish without the crust would be better for your new stomach. I can have soft, not fried fish in the mushies stage. Good Luck!

Wow...seems way too soon for Captain Ds. I am 2 weeks out today. I can eat some regular foods but am pretty careful. Have made a couple of mistakes and have thrown it up - its all about learning lessons. I, for one, have to avoid all fast food because I don't do it in moderation. Still sticking to mushy stuff for the most part.

I'm a week post surgery and still on liquids. I won't even be on mushies for another 2 weeks. I would tend to agree with the others, I'm guessing the fish with the crust was just too much for your tummy to handle this soon. I'm sure it'll subside as the food slowly passes.

I know I feel uncomfortably full very easily right now. I had a cup of strained cream of chicken Soup a half hour ago, and I still feel like I just over-ate a Thanksgiving dinner. I'm that full.

Give your tummy a break tonight, walk if you can to help it move through faster, and maybe go a little gentler for a couple weeks.

I am a week and half post op and still on liquids. I would think fried foods might upset your stomach. Give it some time, I sure you would feel better soon. GL

I was banded on 12/21 and can eat soft foods as tolerated. I can only eat so much and then I get a full feeling and don't swallow so well. If I pushed through that and kept eating I think I would feel some of the things you are describing. I think by tomorrow you will feel better, however, I would portion out your food so you know how much your new pouch can comfortably handle. It feels like each new thing is a test for me. I can not do fried foods at all. The only meat I can eat right now is chili and I had a quesadilla with chicken that was kinda ground up. Good luck.
