Eat less next time, but apart from that can you go for a walk. I've only felt really full I think twice since I was banded (3rd sept) and I had a nap both times which I definitely don't recommend cause when I awoke I still felt full and I think a long stroll would have made me feel a lot better, a lot sooner. Also don't drink any Water for a while. Hope your feeling better soon.

Bad news--I'm almost 11 months out from surgery and yet I continue to do that to myself. I have an issue with not stopping eating. Let's face it--the band hasn't worked on my head. I'm a work in progress, and I expect you are too. Do your best to eat only until you're no longer hungry, not full. (Odd concept for me as a fat person!) It will get easier as long as you listen to your body. Move around and your body will move the food along. Just don't drink. That will either wash it back at you or exacerbate the feeling. Good luck. Feel better.

You're eating too much. You need to stop before you get to that stage, which may take some practice. It can be hard to recognise "satisfied" but basically, if you feel more than a teeny bit full, you've overeaten.

Also eating until you are too full can stretch out the pouch.

Are you talking about feeling too full, or feeling like something is stuck. There is a difference.

If you don't already I would measure your food and then try eating about 3/4 of what you do now. You have gotta stop sooner or you can have all kinds of complications along with the annoyance of being overly full.

Are you sure that you don't have something stuck?
