Hi, I'm 9 months post-op and am having horrible pain in my middle back after eating . . . any suggestions? This hits after only a couple of bites, especially in the evening.

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????

      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.
