I have been calling my doctor and he suggested on Wednesday evening that I go in the next morning to have some removed, however I needed to go back in yesterday and have the totally remove all the fluid. My stomach does not just hurt all the time but as soon as I start sipping water it starts to ache right away. I will probably give him a call again today as I have lost 5lbs since Wednesday and am positive that I am dehydrated?

I started having issues on Wednesday 5/28 so I went in the next day to have some fluid removed, could not drink water so went in yesterday to have all the fluid removed and as of this morning I STILL cannot keep even water down? I realize I am still swollen but this is rediculous. Should I drink warm/hot water vs. cold? Should I keep trying to drink something and hope that some of it is retaining being that I am pretty sure that I am dehydrated from not keeping anything down for the past two days? HELP any suggestions?

I'm having issues with my band being too tight also. I went in to have some fluid removed and still had major stomach pain so yesterday I had all of the fuid removed and am still having trouble keeping water down? Do I keep trying to drink? Should I drink warm/hot water vs cold? Something is definately wrong as I have not been able to hold fluids for over two days now?

I felt fine right after the fill and actually do not feel any different. I read some folks stories about not being able to even sip Water and that is definately not the case for me (which I'm glad). You are right a couple of days is not bad compared to how long it was right after the surgery. I'm struggling mainly with the liquids because I feel like I just started eating solid foods and was in a grove as to what I was eating every day and now I'm back to the liquids and you know how it goes after doing liquids for a couple of days, once you start eating food again you tend to over-indulge; so I'm hoping that I will feel full right away and won't be able to eat very much :bolt: I did read that some people just do liquids the day of the fill and kind of feel like I could try a little something (otherwise how will you know if you get that "full" feeling?).

Looking forward to tracking everyone's success who started their journey in February. I had my surgery on Leap-Day (2/29) and have no doubt all of us will be "leaping" around and very active come next February!! HERE WE GO TEAM!!! :huh2:

I just had my first fill today and HATE the 2-day liquid and then 2-day soft foods, especially since I just started to begin to eat some solid food again ? Can someone tell me again why the 4 days of liquid/smooth foods? I REALLY want to eat something right now (probably just psychological?) The Dr's office had me schedule a fill every 2 weeks until I have my 6th fill and should supposedly be in the "sweet spot". I feel like the only reason I have lost the weight that I have so far is because I ended up getting a sever case of bronchitis the week after my surgery and did not eat for about 3 weeks and once I started introducing solid foods everything looked so good and I thought I would gnaw my arm off if I saw one more pizza commercial :huh2:.
