Hi everyone... I am 5 months post op and have done great so far. But on Wednesday I had a fill and they only put in .25 at my request. I did great wed and Thursday only eating soft mushy foods. On Friday I had some moist Salisbury steak, very small pieces, and I have been throwing up since. Not even keeping Water down. Today I'm able to keep most water down but that's about it. Should I go back to the doctors on Monday and have some saline removed or will this pass?

I'm not banded yet but my doctor said if you throw up at all you should go see your doctor ASAP for an unfill. Definitely go in on Monday!

I agree, you must have Fluid intake, that is very critical. It sounds like you are stuck. Many folks on here have problems with steak. Hope you are doing better.

Thank you all!!! I did have to go to ER AND THEY Removed all the Fluid that I had put in since surgery. Have to start from square one again but at least I'm better and now they know what the max I can handle in my band. Not that that's the way to find out but I now know all the signs and hope it doesn't ever happen again.

      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.
