So I have had my bad for 2.5 years. i had a fill in march '09 and didn't have it adjusted again until july '10 due to some reflux issues so they took out 1 cc... during this time i started on a medicine that made me gain a TON of Water weight. So on top of this I started noticing I was then eating more that i was used to...so between the 2 I gained 20 lbs...yuck!

so...I went back and they gave me back .5...didn't really do much at all...so i went back again and they added .7, that was last wednesday. so i felt fine and definetly was feeling much more restriction but it wasn't at all uncomfortable.

then comes saturday...we went to a surprise party for a friend and we all ended up sick so we are thinking it was something we ate...so all day sunday i threw up everything but my toenails

NOW it hurts so bad to eat anything (like yogurt) and in the morning i can hardly drink anything...ugh! i have never had restriction like this...it's terrible...

what do i do?? it's a 4 hour drive each way to get my fill so if i can i'd rather wait since we just did the drive last week.

is it just irritated from being sick?? is it just swollen?? will it go back to normal? when? how do i make it normal??

thanks!! (sorry it's so long)

i hope it is only irritated and swollen! I really think all of us should have anti emetic (no puke) meds prescribed just in case of something like this because that puking is not good for us.I think u should do a few days of liquids and maybe some antiinflam meds like tylenol or advil to help it calm down...then mushies, then real food just like post op. If your doc was close (I'm in the same boat as you for distance) I would go in now...Good luck and let us know how you are doing!

      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.
