This is my 4th day after banding. I tried 2 tbs of Soup yesterday at lunch and dinner. It is frunnyy - I'm not even hungry....not light headed. I'm not sure what full feels like. So I'm sticking with the 2 tbs until I go see doc on Monday and get my staples out. I don't know if the twinges are gas pains or are what full feels like!

My doctors office is not very helpful, so I am full of questions. I get a sharp pain after I eat few bites. I think it is like something is stuck. It lasts until I can belch a few times. After it's over I can eat all I want. I had the surgery 2 months ago. Is it normal?

Hey you are just a bit over surgery so don't rush it. Your stitches have to heal and you should still be on full fluids or mushies. Your stomach (pouch)is a muscle. We all know that muscles are stiff and unresponsive when cold but after a warmup they operate much better. Drink a bit of warm liquid before eating and don't forget to go slowly. But above all, don't try solids whenyou are feeling tight. Doddie
