All I heard BEFORE my surgery was how much I was going to gag and puke after surgery....

I vomitted ONCE - at the hospital - and it was so minor...

It's now been 2 weeks... a few times I've over stuffed my pouch and the pain comes... the discomfort... but no puking.... is something wrong with me? Have I ruined something? Or am I extremely lucky and just a bit paranoid???? HELP!:tongue2:

I never vomited at all after surgery. The closest i came was about a week out, i got nauseous so bad, that i came close. The only kind of "refunding" Ive done is when Ive eaten to fast or got stuck, but that's not the same as vomiting.

Everyone handles every aspect of the surgery different. You appear to have handled it quite well.

Ive never typed vomiting so many times before, kinda weird, kinda gross. LOL!

Good luck!

I'm 5 days post-op and have not vommited once...even after taking vicodin on my empty/filled with Water pouch. I would not be worried at all...i would say you are just lucky!

I was never sick until after my 3rd or 4th fill, and then its only when I let myself get too hungry and eat too fast or too much.

Does everyone consider it vomitting if you eat to fast and have to chuck it back up within a couple of minutes of eating it, or is it after it has sat in your stomach awhile and comes up later all nasty. I was wondering because I am still learning to eat slower and at times I have to "refund" it as revren said and I dont consider that destructive to the band, I have only once had to vomit where it actually hurt. Just wondering

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
