Do I keep drinking?

[bulawookie 116]

I just got a fill this morning and am at 9.5cc's. I stayed in the office and drank a glass of Water and it stayed down. Now 7 hours later my water keeps coming up. Even the coffee I drank 12 hours ago before the fill is coming up. I am sipping now. Is it that I was drinking too fast? Is this normal right after a fill when I am swollen? I have not had any other liquids today so I have had no nutrition. I am in bed because I am so tired which I think is from low blood sugar. I will sip some chicken broth later for nutrition. I am a little hungry. I have not walked today but after I drink water I have been getting up and walking around the house hoping the water will stay down. Needing your responses! Thanks

Please note my answer is only based on what MY doctor told ME. He told me if I can't keep liquids down the day of the fill, come right back in (for an unfill) because it won't get better on its own. Give your doctor a call before the long weekend and at least give him a heads up. Good luck!

You do not want risk dehydration. That is a trip to ER on a weekend.

you are swollen. you can't go without fluids. call your doctor and have a slight unfill. this can be dangerous. call your er or go to the one your doctor has priviledges at . most er's don't know anything about bands. hope you feel better soon

Hi there, I hope things are settling down and you're able to drink -- sometimes things of a different temperature work well. You might want to try Popsicles as the cold will help with the inflammation and you'll be getting some hydration along with sugar. Or on the other end of the spectrum warm tea. Be sure to be in touch with your medical professionals but it may be that you are swallowing fine now. I hope so! Sending best wishes your way.

Thin fluids should go through your band rather quickly. If it don't, you're too tight whether it be swelling or too much Fluid

Call your doctor @@bulawookie -- your medical professionals are there for you and they need to know what's going on.

I did go back to the doctor yesterday. From Thursday morning until Saturday morning I was miserable and very weak. Things did not get better and I was throwing up all liquids. The doctor took out .5cc's so I think I am at 9cc's in a 10cc band. I am enjoying drinking and had some chicken noodle Soup last night. The misery that I felt gives me motivation to make this band work. Surgery was tough as was the recovery so I remember all these difficult steps as motivators to win this obesity battle. I will win. I walked today twice because I felt good enough to.All your comments really help me so thanks all you out there.
