Hey all so once again I had 2.5 fill on Tuesday and now everything is getting stuck. Today I had few Beans and guacamole and it got stuck so bad discomfort heavy feeling. I couldn't handle it then i started to cough and suddenly I violently threw up. All the beans and more. Now I do chew take small bites wait in between etc. will it get better? Did i do any damage by throwing up. ?

I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

Throwing up once or twice will not hurt you or your band it is when you throw up consistantly day after day. Just a suggestion but since you had the fill on Tuesday and you had a stuck episode today you may want to go back to full liquids for 24 hours. I had problems after my last fill and it took me longer than it normally did to be able to really eat like we are suppose to be able to eat. On monday if you are not better call the doctor, if you get to a point you can not even take in liquids this weekend either call the doctor or go to your ER or where ever your physician told you to go in an emergency. I hope it gets better for you!

Hi!

I just had this happen to me last week. I also went for a fill on a tuesday and tried some yogurt on wednesday and threw it up. Tried some Soup and the same so i called my dr. And he asked me to go see him on thursday. He took out 0.5ml and i feel soo much better. Even drinking Water was hurting. And now i still feel full with little food but i am able to keep it down. Maybe u need a slight unfill? Idk maybe call ur dr. and see what he says. Good luck! And hope u feel better soon! :-)

I just had to get Fluid removed a month ago because I couldn't get anything down, you might want to consider getting some taken out if the problem continues. And they can always do a barium swallow to check the bad.

I had my first fill almost 2 weeks ago and quickly learned my lessons (all different times)

#1 I didn't eat most of the day and came home starving and( like I used too) gobbled some eggs. Learned that lesson fast: Eat slower

#2 First time going out to eat after surgery. went with some friends to catch up and wasn't paying attention while talking: chew properly

#3 This may not apply to some people but I'm quite tight in the morning and can't handle such solids: Eat light Breakfast

All resulted in stuck episodes and my body immediately threw it up (I tried to work through it without success)

All were lessons learned pre-op.

Maybe I didn't think it would happen to me, maybe I didn't realize I was doing wrong but I assure you these are lessons that won't be forgotten from now on.

Always go back to liquids and give the band area time to heal. It is just common sense that it would be irritated after an experience like that.

      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.
