I am four weeks out from lap band and I am on regular foods now. I , of course, dont eat as much and I take little bites but I am eating. I have noticed that frequently after I eat I have really bad right shoulder pain and upper right chest pain. Its always right after I eat and last between 15 min. to an hour. It hurts sooooo bad. Am i eating too much? My tummy doesnt feel like I am, but this pain is horrible. Please help!!

Well, I'm not sure if anyone told you this but with the band, your tummy won't feel full when you eat. You will feel pressure in your chest area and that is what means you are full. As far as the shoulder pain, I'm not sure. It could be gas but you may want to call your surgeon and tell them about it. Tell them it only occurs after you eat.
