Oh man let me tell you.. I knew that my kids had the flu and I worked real hard to just stay away as much as I could. I kept washing my hand and wiped everything down with clorox wipe.. Last night around 9pm all hell broke lose.

I knew I was going to puke and I was so scared I ended up calling my lapband doctor which he was great. Once the puking started it was like dry because I had to squeeze it back up the band.OUCH! Then at one point it was coming at both ends at the same time. I have maxed myself out on emodem (sp) and finally it has slowed down down there:phanvan

I puked 4 times during the night and my chest feels tight.

So I hope this help someone if they get the flu.. It is not fun with the band.

Next year I think I might get the flu shot??

Ginger,

I sure hope you are feeling better!

What did your doctor recommend?

Take care!

No drinking for rest of the night.

Imoduim for the diarrhea.

And Compazine which was a suppository for the tummy pains.

To be honest nothing helped at first.

Today-Monday I'm feeling better but my chest is still killing me.

I'm going to spend the day in bed.

Just for future reference, you should keep some Fenergan (sp?) suppositories in your fridge for when things like this happens. You should be able to get a script form your PCP. I hope you are feeling better now.

      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.
