7 months out

Hi girls!!! I am now 7 months out. I've posted a long update and new pictures if anyone is interested. BUT I do have a question. Up until now, I didn't really get a "full" feeling. I just eat, something tells me to stop and that is that. The past couple of days, after lunch (which is usually my bigest meal) I have felt bloated and like my insides are hard---that and the gas churning about almost feels like being 8 months pregnant. Does anyone else experience anything like this? Does this even make any sense? Am I losing my mind???? It goes away after a couple of hours, but it was really weird. Today, I ate quite a bit less and it did not happen. Thanks for listening! Dawn

According to my Doc, anytime anything is done to the stomach it loses most "feeling" for a period of several months. Up until now the fullness you may have felt would have been generalized pressure being felt by the surrounding tissue. It sounds like your stomach is now beginning to "feel" again. I am experiencing the same sensations now. Annette

I am experiencing annoying pain in my lower left side. It feels like a bad trapped gas pain. I have been having trouble going to the bathroom. I started taking fiber pills but it doesn't aways help. I was eating alot of popcorn and thought maybe that is what it was. It has gotten better since I haven't been doing the popcorn. I also was hooked on oranges and thought maybe I had gotten an ulcer. I really am not sure what is going on. Never thought about maybe my new pouch has finally woke up and able to feel pain now. That is something to think about....maybe I am just over fill it? I will try on cutting back on how much I eat and see if that helps. Thanks for giving me this idea! Lisa S

WOW!!! I checked out your new pictures....you are looking great!!!!! Keep up the great work!! Lisa S

Dawn, I kinda have the same thing. I think like the other gals said we are just getting the feeling back in the pouch. It is just yelling back for us to watch what and how much we are eating. The gurgling is totally not just you. I have that but I was not sure if it was all my meds that I am now on or what so that does make me feel better that I am not the only one and maybe it is not the meds. You are doing great.!!!
