I had a fill last Thursday 3/23/12, as required I drank Water before leaving the office, and was fine. Later that night I ate broth, and drank fruit juice and was fine. The next morning I began vomiting everything, water, juice, and Soup, not stop, Today I called my doctor's office, and told them what was going on, and the gave me an appointment for 3/30/12.

The problem with this is that I have lost 14 pounds since Thursday, I can't hold anything down, I have headaches, i feel feverish, and I'm dizzy. To put it bluntly if I don't get water down like yesterday, I dont' feel like imma make it til Friday. Does anyone know any tricks, I tried drinking tea as hot as possible, didn't work. The hopsitals will not touch a band, I guess because that is not their area of expertise. I tried a heating pad, drinking a diet soda. I'm getting scared and desperate.

Oh dear!

Are you ok? Now I am worried, my doctor decided that if she has to fill me one more time she will check for leaks??? I have had three fills up to 4.7ml.

      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.
