Bad Stick Band Swollen



Recommended Posts

Hello people. So I had a bad stick on some Pasta last night. Threw up like 5 times. No big deal as it happens rarely and I can deal with it. My band is very irritated and swollen today from this. Is there any remedy you have? I am swollowing ice chips hoping this will sooth the problem. Anyone else have this happen?

Just stick with liquids for a day or 2 to help things calm down. Hope you're feeling better soon!

My doctor said an antihistamine can sometimes help with that (Benadryl). Also hot tea...

Do you eat Pasta a lot? It is one of my doctor's no foods along with rice and popcorn.< /p>

my two cents . . . my doctor says to avoid COLD foods and drinks when this happens; makes it worse; try WARM things like tea or Soup ~ good luck !

My doctor says warm fluids, after a fill. No cold fluids at all for a day. The stomach needs to take it easy after a fill, that's why your put on Clear Liquids for 2 days then a full diet, so your stomach can heal

My doctor very clearly advises liquids only the first 24 hours after a fill. You may want to ask your doc and consider that going forward if s/he advises you to do so.

      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.
