Recommended Posts

Started last weekend with heartburn , turned into a few days of vomiting and not being able to eat now i can do scrambled eggs and yogurt but nothing with any more texture than that-

dehydrated because i have to drink super slow.. getting scared and mad and upset.

unfill?? Slippage? what the heck is going on.. had a fill last wed.. did fine for 2 days after.. now this..going to have to go back tot he dr next week,, i so dont want them to drain the band,, i am down 68lbs!

granted 6-7 lb is from the past week of being sick and not eating but still...

ughh.. :frown:

i am burping up foam.. spitting out slime and saliva eveytime i try to eat something beyond yogurt and i swear its starting to affect my brain lol my coordination is off,, my spelling sucks more than usual,,, damn it to hell.

Call your doctor. Don't wait until it turns into an emergency. He should have some kind of answering service. Don't delay...I would call. Best wishes!!!

Sounds like you need an unfill. I doubt your band slipped, since you just had a fill and are keeping some things down. You probably have some swelling, it can take a day or two for that to happen. I would call your doc. for sure. In the meantime maybe stick to liquids (protien shakes and water). Best wishes, keep us posted on how your doing.

Call now before it gets too bad, I had to have a slight unfill(.1) one time after a fill, it was 10 days later! But just .1 helped so much! The longer you wait, the more they are going to need to take out because of dehydration. Keep me updated!

      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.
