Tashaplus3 29 Posted February 7, 2014 I was banded 2/20/2013, I am 15 lbs from goal weight. I was wondering what everyone experiences when they are "done" eating and if my experience is typical. First thing that happens is that my nose runs, then I start hiccupping. If I take another bite, then I have pain and I have to stop. Period. Sometimes I can wait, and the food finally goes down, if not, I am running to the bathroom to throw up. It comes up pretty much as it went down. dinner is over. There are some days everything goes down fine. There will be a day or two in a row that nothing seems to be going down except liquid. I get worried that maybe my band has slipped. The next day everything is back to normal again. Anyone else experience this? Thanks for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#MagicWithinme 173 Posted February 7, 2014 lately large burps...! and if I try to continue to eat it feels like what I did eat wants to come back up, there has never been a day that I can't eat, but there are days that it has to be soft foods.. I know sometimes its a mental thing just used to eating and eating and I admit sometimes when I forget to take small bites I do tend to eat more, but boy do I feel it, my lapband sticks out like a golfball. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and Tashaplus3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady VS 1,147 Posted February 8, 2014 I get sleepy. If I eat a little more than I should, I get pain in the upper part of my back/shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted February 8, 2014 I used to get those signals. Now, occasionally I'll get a hiccup or two but mostly I start to feel pressure near my sternum where the pouch is so I stop for a while to see if it stays or goes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
