Ate To Much? Lots Of Pain

[Buffalogyrl 17]

Ate to much on Friday, pushed myself instead of listening to my body. I have pain under my ribs, a lump in my throat and no energy. I feel like I did one week after surgery. Of course I have nobody to blame but myself, but wondering if this is normal 48 hours later. I have had very little to eat this weekend, a Protein Shake and some tofu, mainly because I'm not hungry and it hurts to eat. Should I call my Dr. Tomorrow or is this just normal punishment for my bad behavior?

If I were in your shoes, I'd go back to liquids for 24 hours and see if that doesn't fix the problem. Overeating can stretch the pouch and really irritate the band, causing the stomach to swell. A 24 hour liquid diet can more often than not take care of the problem by giving the stomach time to recover.

If you still have the pain even after 24 hours of liquids, then I'd call your doc.

Best wishes.

Thx Mis 73... I I'll stick to liquids for a couple more days or at least until the pain goes away. Ug I wish my brain would listen to my body so not worth the pain

It is all a learning process and I think you have learned a valuable lesson.

Don't beat yourself up to much..we all do it at one time or another.

I doubt you set yourself back 3 whole months. With the lap band we need to learn what we can eat/how much, etc. Like Jennifer1 said we all do it. That is how we LEARN.

I ate pizza last night. Knew I couldn't eat pizza, but I tried it again and was sicker than a dog.(Or a puppy in my case - LOL). I had tried it before, but it seems I had to keep proving it to myself. Now I KNOW I just can't have Pizza and won't try it again.

As long as you learn, you'll be OK!
