I was banded on May 16th and yesterday 05/19/11 I ended up in the ER per my surgeon. I was dehydrated and very sick to my stomach.

They kept me there for a few hours and gave me some IV's to rehydrate me. They also gave me some naseau meds. I felt good when I left there. Although when I came home I still cant seem to get anything in. I managed to get 1/2 cup chicken broth and about 6 oz of crystal light in through out the day. Im too full and the gas in my belly is awful. I have no cravings for food and the liquid diet is just fine with me for now . But trying to jam in the amount of fluids they want me to take in seems impossible. I do not want to end up back in the ER. Any one else having these issues? I'm so tired all I wanna do is sleep.

I know once I get through this stage things will get better. I'm walking constantly to get relief from all the gas in my belly. I had no gas pains till the 3rd day after surgery. Also everytime I sip I get the pains in between my shoulder blades, which they say is gas pains? I can not burp as it hurts like hell and the hiccups are horrible!

Anyone else have this happen to them? Also the scale is very discouraging to me. I came home weighing 7 lbs more than the day of my surgery. My Dr says its from all the gas and IV's. I hope so. I'm taking in less than 200 calories a day at the moment.
