Banded last Monday. Thursday nite and yesterday, vomiting uncontrollably. I want to thank everybody for their support on here and advice. I did call doc. yesterday, went to office, checked me out, ex-ray etc. and nurse reduced the fill. Said everything in place, looked great..I was under impression nonthing in there. but guess there was. I thought I was dying. She said I would be fine, I sure had my doubts. sent me home. I took Phlegrin? (probably mis-spelling for sure. ) went to bed, got up this morning and I feel great. Loaded dishwasher, showered, and had 1/2 cup Jello and it stayed down. Yahoo!!! Have never been so ill.... but today is a new day and I'm on track to success. Nothing to hold me back now. However, I was not aware or told of details of post op. If I had known, I would've called doc way sooner than i did. But, I just did not know. Thanks again everybody. You are super support on here. Hope I can help others as well. You will be seeing alot less of me.:(:w00t::):thumbup:

Rule #1......

If there's any problems between your neck and your knees, call your doctor.

Sounds like you're on the road to recovery and that's great. You should start feeling better every day and in about a week you'll be back to your NEW self. Keep up the good work and remember that you always have people here that have been through it too.

      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.
