Are you PBing or actually vomiting?

If you're PBing, try taking very small bites, chewing it until mush, and pausing between bites.

If you're vomiting, call your doctor immediately, you shouldn't be vomiting.

WHAT IS PBing

PBing is Productive Burping. It's when you burp the food back up, it's not forceful or violent like vomiting and doesn't result in the stomach retching like vomiting.

WELL IM NOT BURPIN I DO EAT VERY SLOW BUT ONCE OR TWICE A DAY I GET SICK AND IM HAVING CHARLIE HORSES NON STOP AN I WAS TOLD IT IS LACK OF Water BUT MY TWO WEEK CHECKUP HE TOOK ME OFF MILK AN juice CAUSE WATER WEIGHT IF I CANT ANSWER YOU IM CLOSE BUT LEGALLY BLIND SO I NEED HELP BUT ANY INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED I HAVENT STARTED ANY SUPPORT GROUP YET MY DOCTOR HASNT RELEASED ME HES IN LOUISVILLE I LIVE NEXT TO NASHVILLE TN I GO BACK ON THE 18

I think you should go see your Dr.

It sounds like you are too tight. He must of put Fluid in your band at the time of surgery.

If you haven't had a fill... there is no reason you can not keep meat down and ESPECILLY fluids.

I have had several fills and I have absolutely no problem with any meat.< /span>

I seriously advise you to see the Dr.

Best of Luck and please keep us posted

Also, your just 2 weeks post op. Your stomach could still be swollen from the placement of the band and then with all the throwing up... uff. Maybe strictly liquids for a while.

This is just my opinion...but some Doctors don't give enough info, or have enough knowledge. (not saying yours doesn't)

I can't do very many meats and I am 5 1/2 months post op. No steak, or anything grilled. I can do stuff in the crockpot that is very tender, but other stuff even if I chew chew chew just causes discomforts and comes back up.

I'LL POST BIGGER SO IT'S EASIER TO SEE.

I WOULD TALK TO YOUR SURGEON BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T BE VOMITING, VOMITING CAN LEAD TO SLIPS.

I THINK THE SUPPORT GROUP WILL BE GOOD, AS WOULD SEEING A NUTRITIONIST. BOTH ARE VALUABLE TOOLS WHEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE BAND.

GIVE YOUR SURGEON'S OFFICE A CALL AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

BEST WISHES 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.
