wow I was just looking up stuff on this...I just got done eating. Ate quite a bit...as I am pre-fill(2 cups). I had hamburger helper...with half the noodles...mainly Protein lol... But this is the first time I've really ate this much and it went down fine. Anyway my pain is kind of dull throbbing or a gassy feeling in my chest...just upper chest/back...not my stomach... where exactly in your back is your pain

my pain (gas) over eating is in my back and I have to start walking... I have never had gas in my stomach but my back pain can bring me to my knees

I'm getting a back ache in my back after eating almost nothing. Very strange. Its like after you wear a heavy backpack all day . . .

When I had this it was severe reflux,, others I know who have had this pain ended up with gallstones. It happens to me when I eat Peanut Butter with certain breads.. If it keeps happening make sure you call the doctor so they can check things out!!

i have had the same issue and usally that indicates that I need an adjustment. Once I go to have the adjustment the pain goes away. I can't keep anything down at this point, not even liquid.< /p>

OMG! :w00t: I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PAIN IN THE UPPER PART OF MY BACK. IT OCCURS AFTER EATING TOO MUCH.....I THINK RESTRICTION MANIFEST DIFFERENTLY IN EVERYONE AND THIS MAY BE OURS....I MENTIONED THIS TO MY SURGEON AND HE SAID THE SAME THING....WE NEED TO EAT LESS.

EVEN WITH YOU ONLY EATING A FEW BITES, THAT TOO MAY BE TOO MUCH....I ON THE OTHER HAND....APPARENTLY HAVE EYES BIGGER THAN MY STOMACH AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!!!

I JUST ATE WAY TOO MUCH...CUZ I'M HUNGARY AND I HAVE THE FEELING NOW. THE ONLY THINGS THAT HELP ARE GULPING SUPER HOT Water WITH A TINY BIT OF meat TENDERIZOR OR WALKING...AND WHO WANTS TO DO THAT AFTER A MEAL????

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
