I was just wondering if anyone else had this same feeling as me. Iv noticed that every time after I eat...it doesn't matter if its a protin shake or regular food, I start to get a really intense punched in the stomach feeling in my high mid abdomen. It last about 15 min before it passes. Does anyone know what this could be or do you have the same feeling? It's not terrible pain feels more like a bad stomach ach for a few min.

it might be that ur eating to quickly and missing that * feeling satisfied * sign and going right to being over full. when i just got my band.. i would often feel that pressue in my chest high abdomen area.. i think.. its just that heaviness resting on the band puttin pressure on the pouch.. then as the food starts working its way down out of the pouch.. down into the stomach cavity... u start feeling the relief. ( the 15 mins later feeling)

my advice... eat slower.. stopping every now and then..to see if ur still hungry.. or if u just want to finish the plate. :)

You could be getting stuck, in which case smaller bites and chewing better would help alleviate the problem. However, it could be a hiatal hernia or maybe even gall bladder attacks. I would try take tiny bites and chewing it until mush, and if you still have the problem, ask your doctor about it.

I get that sometimes and it usually means I need to burp a little. Once I release the gas it goes ago.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
