First Fill - now I'm neasous...normal?

[Chele6378 0]

I got my first fill today. SO SO SO excited!! I have 3cc's in my band now!

After my fill, we went out for lunch. I had some chicken Soup minus the noodles and a glass of milk for some Protein. After 2 or 3 spoonfuls of Soup and 3 gulps of milk, I felt incrediblely sick!

It's now 3 hours later and I'm trying to sip a Protein shake and the same thing is happening? After a couple drinks, I feel incredibly neasous!

Is this normal? Will I feel better tomorrow?

You should be on 100% liquids for at least the first 24hrs because of the swelling your stomach can do when it gets a fill. You went directly to solids and probably irritated your stomach, causing nausea. Go back to thin liquids. Hot tea or broth may help. I have problems with nausea after fills too but it does go away in a day or two.

^^^What she said, plus that combo of that salty chicken broth and milk sounds a little stomach curdling. No offense to you personally but just reading that made my lips curl up.

Have some ginger tea or mint tea and let your stomach rest.

I haven't been banded yet but I've read a lot and after a fill as above poster said you have to let your stomach rest and let whatever swelling go down before you start eating any solids at all.

Hope you feel better soon.

I was filled today and my post-fill instructions state:

1)Clear liquids for the first 24 hours

2) Full liquids (like milk) for the next 24 hours

3) Progress as you see fit after that

4) Call the doc if you have nausea, vomiting or severe heartburn. Do not wait longer than 24 hours (that part is in bold!)

I suggest you call your doc if Clear Liquids make you nauseated.

I didn't do anything solid...I ate the broth from the chicken soup..no noodles!! I added the milk just for some Protein since I didn't eat Breakfast.

I was told 24 hours of liquids that I could do regular dinner tomorrow night. Depending how lunch sits, I may just stick to liquids until Saturday.

The same thing happened when I tried a Protein shake later in the afternoon. This evening seems a bit better...chicken broth and Water seem to be going down fine. Popsicle was good too!
