Stomach pain



Recommended Posts

I just had my 4th fill a month ago, but I still am having a problems eating slowly, so almost everyday I throw up something. I am trying not to stay in the soft food phase, but I can't even go out to eat with out having to get up and go to the restroom. I have been doing it today, I can not keep anything down and know I feel a little pain in my stomach. I don't know if I should have a little removed or try to eat slower like I should. I will do only liquids for a few days and maybe some swelling will go down if that is the problem? Has any one experienced this.

It's a really difficult question to answer because the symptoms seem to be the same for people who need an unfill to those who need to just be more careful.

If you are throwing up every day I would say that's not a good thing and you should have a little Fluid removed, even the tiniest amount can make all the difference. But of course, it's just my opinion.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

It seems that if your fill was a month ago and you are having problems everday that you probably need a tiny unfill. Not only will it make you feel better, it is probably better for your band in the long run if you dont stay too tight for so long.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to try to do the liquid thing for a while. I really think it is me because I can eat all the bad stuff like (cookies & candy) with no problem. I think I should try smaller bites and eat slower, but I can drink liquids with no problem. So I will give it a few more days and see what happens.

      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.
