PB, vomiting, or....??

I was banded last Tuesday (May 18th) and have felt pretty crappy since... it's manageable, but still crappy. :thumbup: Anyway, there have been a few occasions since where I feel like I'm going to vomit- but I can't get anything up. It's beyond painful, and my stomach actually tries to get it up, but nothing happens. No mucous, etc.; Is this normal just after being banded? I'm not doing anything abnormal (I've actually been forcing myself to eat lately), but I just feel nauseous yet can't produce vomit when my body tries. Anyone else experience this?

Sorry you are having a hard time. You said your eating- is your dr. ok with this? Most people are on liquids for at least a week post op. I have experienced vomiting, but the food comes up right away- easily. Hope you feel better soon!

Oh no, not "eating".. I'm on liquids. I've been doing broth, Jello, etc.; trust me, not real food! I'm not even interested in it!
