I am 3 days out from lap removal and conversion to gastric bypass. I can't tell when I am full, but feel pressure in middle of my back. Can that be fullness or will it be in middle of my chest? Also, think I have some heartburn. Does that mean I am eating too much? I haven't been able to eat and drink what I am suppose to so far! I don't feel nauseated, but don't want to do anything wrong. Please advise! Also, can I take some maalox?

You won't feel "full" for several months after some healing has occurred. At 3 days out just keep taking tiny sips of Fluid. When you progress to puréed food and such, measure everything and just eat that portioned amount.

That's fullness. Some feel it in the chest..some in the back. I was warned it could be either or both. Sometimes I get an intense squeezing feeling. Just take those small sips and you'll be fine. It gets better. [emoji846]
