Last night was HORRIBLE!!! We went out to dinner on Wed. night. I got a salad. Then exactly 24 hours later, on my way home from work, I started feeling awful!!! I was had severe nausea. After I got home I got sick up every 1/2 hour (both ends) I was so scared I was going to hurt my band or my port. The force and pain of heaving that much was the worst experience ever! I had a pretty bad case of food poisoning 20 years ago and this reminded me of that. Not as bad as my experience from 20 years ago...but very close. I was up all night... every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes in the bathroom until 5:00 am this morning. Today I'm feeling weak and trying to get some liquids as I know I must have been pretty badly dehydrated. I'm now scared to eat. Has anyone else ever had to deal with food poisoning or a "bug". My husband was pretty scared too that I was going to hurt my band and wanted to bring me to the hospital. I kept telling him that I would be OK... I didn't let on how nervous I really was.

I am so sorry that you felt so aweful!! I had food poisoning twice and it was the worst pain ever. The one time I felt as if I were in labor-that's how bad the pains were. I couldn't move off the floor! If you don't feel any different I am sure the band is fine. Definitely get those fluids back in your system!! Hope you feel better soon!

As long as you are tolerating liquids you should be fine. My doc. said you know the band slipped when suddently you can't even keep Water down. Sorry you got sick and hope you feel better soon.

      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.
