Nyt 19 Posted July 14, 2012 I have been doing what I am supposed to do for my foods. I'm not able to sit and drink my foods. I can only stand and drink my foods. I feel pressure after I drink anything too. Doesn't matter if it's Water, juice, Protein Shake, or anything. Still kind of hungry too. I am bothered about all this. Does this ever go away?

Deana01 23 Posted July 14, 2012 I get that way sometimes so I take gas x strip and I am fine. Notice it more when I take on to much to fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 14, 2012 You just had your surgery 2 days ago so your stomach is very swollen and irritated right now. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to sit and drink normally. You say you're "still kinda hungry" but yet you feel pressure when you drink. Are you sure it's physical hunger you're feeling, not just head hunger? Also, just because your stomach grumbles doesn't mean you're physically hungry either (banded tummies tend to "talk" a lot). These are things you'll definitely want to take notice of now that you're banded. Hang in there, it gets easier as you heal more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
