my thoughts on throwing up



Recommended Posts

(sorry if this was not the right place to post this, but i thought it fit here) i remember reading (before i got my band) that if you are doing what you should, u won't throw up.. & i only had my surgery in Nov, but 2 fills later i can honestly say i have only thrown up once & i know it was because i ate something i shouldn't have right after my 2nd fill. i know a few people that make themselves throw up when they feel something "stuck" & some that purposely eat what they shouldn't & then go throw it up.. i've also heard that if you are filled too tight you will throw up, but it seems those people then fear telling their dr. because they don't want to lose too much fluid.. am i right? are their other categories then these? i try hard to do what i should & i know i will have pain if i eat too quickly or my bites are too big, so i am working on that.. but i HATE throwing up or even the thought of it, so that motivates me not to push it, the fear of getting sick... so i really hope i don't ever start. is it normal to throw up with the band? or is it a bunch of bologna?? i want to know the truth! lol

All of the scenarios in which banded people throw up that you listed are true...but if you follow your diet and do what you are supposed to do, you shouldn't have a problem. I was too tight and threw up, so I had a liitle Fluid removed from my band. Sometimes I take a big bite and don't chew well enough, then I have problem...it can happen very easily and it a very real possibility with the band. well, good luck to you.

      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.
