how could this happen? The new meds I have to take make me sick to my stomach, I have to take them with food and I don't know If I get enough in. I feel like crap for awhile atleast I only have to take 4 more of the phenazopyridine only 3 times a day when I have my meals I have two more to take today and 12 more of the nitrogurantoin mono only twice a day which I only need to take one more time today. The thing about these is that it makes me feel sick to my stomach and when I eat I still feel sick to my stomach I just want to say, I had a better life before the band I miss how happy I was... The food wasn't what made me happy, feeling great made me happy..

oh FYI guys I have a bad infection, I think it's a bladder infection or urinary tract, I have to take these pills 3 times a day for two days and then I have to take these other pills two times a day for 7 days, they're pretty good size and I'm scared to take them but I have to, hopefully it gets better and hopefully this is the answer to why I been having pain, hopefully after this I'll be feeling great (: Thanks guys (:

I feel sick all the time, my stomach has been hurting alot, I only had two good weeks out of 6. I was banded July 31st, bad nausea started that night around 1 in the morning. Had nausea my whole first week it was terrible! I actually had to go to the ER they couldn't do much cause it's not where I got banded. I saw my surgeron twice after surgery the first week I think, gave me better nausea pills made me better for two weeks and then I started getting the nausea back and this really weird feeling in my throat. I dry heaved a lot during my first week and my 3rd week, idk what's causing it but I'm so sick and tired of it! I'm 6 weeks and 3 days post op and when I eat I feel like I got to vomit ever since Friday but lucky me I haven't and thank god cause I'm scared to. I told my mom if this keeps up, I want it out on my November break if possible. But only if it keeps happening, I don't know if I can take that, it upsets me that I have to go through that. I never felt the way I am ever in my life before. I wish I was back to myself with feeling awesome cause I never felt nauseated or sick to my stomach unless I was nervous or actually sick, and it only lasted a day if i was nervous and a couple of days if i was sick but I'm not sick or nervous. Argh!

ohh thanks(: I'm having a downer I've started feeling sick again on Saturday, my stomach hurt so Bad I thought I was gonna barf, I felt like that yesturday and I that today too, right now my stomach just hurts, my left side hurts when I get up, my right side hurts here and there, where my hips are kind of hurts and my lower back hurts. I'm going to the obgyn today at 1 to get checked out I have a question, if you have an infection, could it be why I've been having stomach pain and all the other pain I just listed above? Hmm I don't know, I stayed home today cause I don't feel to well, stinks

nausea is sickening ugh! i still get it at 6 weeks post op and i dont know why, it blows ): i was also prepared for the incission pain and gas pain, i never got the incission pain and the gas pain wasnt bad. i also wasnt prepared for the nausea pain, if i knew id be nauseous like this, i wouldnt have done it i dont think! i feel like i have to live with it, i have no idea if its gonna go away or not =/ im not doing protein shakes cause my nutritionist told me to eat my protein instead of drinking it, and it hasnt helped ahh! thanks (:

i'm 5 weeks post op as of today (: anybody else 5 weeks or 6 weeks post op? how are you all doing? i'll start off with me, eh, could be A WHOLE LOT BETTER! im schedualed for a fill on the 16th but i dont think im ready for it yet, not with my stupid nausea, that doesnt seem to go away and im taking my nausea pills, that alone makes me frustrated, other than feeling nauseated, i feel fine. hope i dont have that for the rest of my life, but for some people they have nausea for a few months right? my dr said try eating a pickle, he had a patient that went home one night ate a pickle and felt great! is it cause of the vineger? and the nausea is the only thing thats making me upset, its making me lose hope in getting back to myself and feeling 100% wonderfull ahh! my incissions are healing fine, but have hives around them and itchy dr said he didnt know what was causing it and he didnt know what was causing the nausea. i gotta go #2 (lol sorry tmi) and i cant! maybe thats another reason why my stomach hurts. i'll take a softener when i get home from getting my lip pierced. i had soggy cereal for breakfast yesturday its go lean kashi or something like that, i tried a string cheese yesturday with turkey breast deli wrapped around it had like 3 bites and i couldn't eat it anymore, i dont think i was hungry. i had a chicken leg for dinner with my fav BBQ sauce and i fed most of it to the dog and cats, it tasted good though. today i didnt have anything for breakfast, i cant decide on anything, but im gonna have string cheese, i wasnt too hungry for breakfast, anyways i feel fine other than having nausea, i hope it goes away, how are all you guys doing? :smile2:

yeah you'll need a note (: It's ok I'm not even sure it's a cold cause I feel better ish lol yeah it'll slip if you vomit a lot but I'm pretty sure it won't slip if you have a cold Oh sweet, I started school on the 8th, awesome, I was going to take cosmetology this year but I felt like I couldn't handle it right now like I feel like I was gonna miss a lot, and it's a two year course which we need 500 hours each year soo I decided to get an early dismissal in case I feel sick I won't have to worry about missing cosmetology and take cosmetology next year good enough for me (: my friend did culinary arts when she was in high school and now she's doing it in college That sounds like a good idea, I would deff try to get it on a vacation day Haha awh I want a puppy =D

no problem (: Ohh you'll probably need a note, I think you can't lift anymore than 30 pounds till 6 weeks, I'd still ask your dr. I'm starting to feel sick right now, I think I have a cold, my dr said that some people have nausea for a couple months, the weird thing is, is that I never had nausea as this much in my life, it blows anyways yeah your insurence might be different, same as you my insurence covered it cause I was 100 pounds overweight I hope I reach my goal too thanks (: That's good, I'm glad I found this website too, it is very helpfull Did you start school already? You need to do light lifting till your dr can give you the ok to lift more I didn't lift anything heavy really the first week cause I felt so nauseated so I basically tried to sleep oor relaxed in the recliner but second week all I can remember lifting is my cat, I can't remember lifting anything else lol Well I wish you luck And no problem (:

it's does huh, keeps my mind off of things but sometimes I think about it I really hope it goes too and I'll be even more happy (: and I think not being regular is making my stomach hurt, I can't go do my duty like a normal person I tried Fiber wheat thins, I'm on regular food now, and I tried a stool softener nothing is working, I only took one stool softener pill, should I take two?

thank you (: And I won't tell anyone about it

hey (: I'm Erin 1. Well I got banded over the summer, but I think you could go back in 3 days or a week, or when you feel you can go 2. Heavy lifting not okay till 6 weeks post op, you should ask the surgeron about that too 3. You wouldn't want to know mine but I had nausea the first week, got bad had to go to the ER once, got better nausea meds felt good for two weeks started to get sick again, lasted for two and a half weeks actually started to get better when I started to go back to school, I still get nauseated mainly in the morning but other than that I'm feeling better and I'm starting to feel like myself, I'm 6 weeks post op and I just want you to know, everyone is different with their experience, yours may be awesome. You have to relax, rest, and let yourself have time to heal and you'll do great (: don't let things scare you cause I did and it's not good to do that I'm 18 and a senior in high school, I started this process at 17 back in June last year. I wanted to start it at 16 but my insurence required me to be 18 in order to get it done I'm hoping that by the end of the school year I'll be close to goal But anyways go to seminars, keep searching this site, get yourself educated on this surgery And good luck (:

I'm a senior in high school by the way and the fireworks were last night

awesome, I use a small saucer plate, and a lot of the times I have left over and I take 20-30 mins to eat and small bites (: the 5 bean salad...never liked it lol. I'm positive that exercising will help with the weight pause, andd yes haha I know it really does, it needs to kick into gear better tho. I'd feel like I'd have to go, but when I get to the bathroom I don't anymore, then I go to sit down for a few mins then I gotta again but then I can't grr I took a stool softened too haha bad stool softener! TMI sorry lol

I got one from the hospital when I had to have it done there, I went earlier, I knida feel better, but not all the way. cheese helps? I'm hungry and I can't find anything ugh!

are you sure it's tasteless? I'll try it on the weekend lol I'll be 6 weeks post op on Friday, I haven't weighed myself lately, last I knew I was down 16 pounds since surgery but 36 alltogether. I wish my dr numbed our fills, some people say it takes 2-3 fills to get good restriction Not fair ): wish I was lucky, wish I never get nauseous. Wish I was 100% awesome

i know right? now i dont have to worry about kids looking at me lol i always had that feeling that someone was watching me eat, yeah that sounds like a good idea do you know if they numb the area for you? my doc doesnt and when i went to see him, he was giving someone a fill and she came out and said "that wasn't as bad as i thought" so hmm. i have some restriction too, my band came with a little bit of fluid in it so that could be why, when the day comes you should tell me how it went (:

abingdongirl- i am also a full month out of surgery, i'm supposed to get my first fill next wednesday, but i'm not sure if im ready for it yet =/ i started my regular foods already, but its hard to chew anything now cause im pretty sure i have a cavity on each side of my mouth, sucks! and the earliest i can get in to my dentist is sept. 26th, sometimes it hits the cavity and makes me wanna stop eating and i haven't even ate much so heh. the good thing is, is that i'll most likely beable to come home for lunch everyday and i wont have to go back to school for the rest of the day. i'm asking my councelor for an early dismissal for everyday cause i'm gonna drop cosmetology this year and just take it next year, it'll make it a lot easier for me, i'm not as scared as i was to go back to school now, phew! yes and i have a class i really like which is drawing and painting two, since i'll most likely have an early dismissal, i'll only have 6 class periods and i'll be coming home at 12, theres 9 class periods in a full school day, i just have to find out what i'm going to do when i get home to keep me busy, i'm thinking of walking and i need something else too. i never ate lunch at school, i only brought a nature valley bar and water or something else. i have study hall everyother day and gym the other i was thinking of bringing something on my study hall days, but i'll be home for lunch thanks (: baferg01- that happens to me too sometimes. but sometimes i'll feel restricted and others i wont. it could be a possibility youd need a fill. its okay (: yeah i burped and it didnt help O.o i will try the flat coke sometime ToomuchRN- when i started regular food i didnt gain anything or lose anything good luck on your fills guys im not sure if im ready for my first one yet

thanks I have a friend in two of my classes so it'll be good year (:

What is that? I might have it and my band might need to be stretched! How do they do it? By surgery? Ahh I'm curious as to what it is

I'm starting to feel better, I'm gonna drop cosmetology this year and just go next year since I won't have to go to regular school plus since I'll drop cosmetology I'll beable to have an early dismissal everyday which I'll beable to have lunch at home and relax the rest of the day and have time to exercise or do something fun (: sounds really good to me I can tell I'll have a good year now (:. I started doing solids the day my nut told me to and since then I've been getting a little better she also said to eat my protein instead of drinking it.

thanks, I can always do it later the early dismissal sounds great(:
