Ok, so. For the past two days or so ive been throwing up constantly unable to hold ANYTHING down. I just for 1/2 CC of saline put into my band last friday putting it up to 7 total. Before the fill i was able to eat ALMOST normal sizes portions and i wasnt losing much. Now, im not able to keep anything down. Friday was okay and it has just gotten little bit worse every day. Now, i cant even keep Water or jell-o down. I dont know what to do. I would try a Protein Shake but i already know i will throw it up again. HELP!?

It's probably swelling... call your doctor if you can't even keep Water down. You don't want to get dehydrated. They may need to take it out, wait for the swelling to go down, and put , say, 1/4 cc back in. See how it goes.

But if you can't keep clear liquid down, you do need to call your doctor!

I second the "call your doctor" idea.

Mine told me to call immediately if I have any issues eating; drinking or keeping food down.

Yes, call the doctor. Any time you are constantly throwing up they want to know right away. It is dangerous as a PP stated because of dehydration. Do you feel like you may have the stomach flu? Or are you simply getting stuck? Best wishes...Feel better...

      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.
