I forgot to mention that I was given 1 1/2 cc's

Hello everyone. I had my third fill yesterday and I have a few concerns and I am hoping some of you could help me figure out what to do. As soon as I got to the parking lot of my doctors office right after my fill I started feeling like the water I just drank was going to come back up. I have never vomited in the 6 months I have had the band. I sat in my car and I burped up the water over and over again. It was kind of foamy like a lot of spit. I know it sounds gross, sorry. I continued to do that for about 20 minutes. I started to feel a little better and when I got home, I tried to drink some warm tea. I burped that up as well but I did manage to keep it down. Later I tied some chicken broth and the same thing happened. This morning, I am trying to drink a little coffee and am having the same problem. My question I guess is should I contact the Doctor or should I just wait until the swelling goes down and see how I feel. I need some advice please. I am leaving town next week for 2 weeks and need to know what to do. Thank you for your time. Happy Holiday's!!!

Again, thank you everyone for your words of wisdom. I got my second fill 3 days ago and I have lost a few more pounds. I am hoping that this restriction lasts. I am focusing on myself and trying to be positive. vinking_girl, congrats on your surgery and good luck. The gas pain isn't fun but try to walk and follow what they tell you. Let me know how it all goes.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is hard and I am commited. I am hoping that after this fill, things will start moving again. Angie, Congrats on losing 32 lbs. That is just wonderful and motivating. I hope to see that number in time. Thank you Babs for letting me know I have people out there that I can lean on. Take care.

Hi everyone. It has been 3 months since my surgery and at first everything was great. I lost 10 pounds in the first couple of weeks and I have had one fill. I go for my next one on the 29th. My problem is that I have only lost 15 pounds and I workout regularly. I do cardio and weight train. I don't have much restriction anymore and can eat like I used to. I try hard not to over eat but sometimes I do. I have had some serious family emergencies in the last 6 weeks and my stress level is through the roof. I eat when I'm stressed and therefore I feel like I am letting myself down. I am hoping that after my fill I will feel better and the weight will start coming off again. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Great job. Working out makes me feel good too. It's hard to start but once you get into it, it's great. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! Now that you are back in the exercise thing, you will feel so much better about everything. I am really happy for you. It is so great that you have lost 50 pounds. That is just wonderful. I do hope that in time I can say the same thing. Keep up the good work. :smile:

Try Isopure. It is loaded with protein and the protein will help keep you feeling fuller longer. Plus, it doesn't have carbs and the calories are low. It comes in different flavors like, grape, orange, apple, fruit punch. It is a great drink for after the surgery as well. It does come in a powder form also. Look for it in the health food stores. Congratulations and good luck, it is so worth it.
