Threw up from mushy food?

[taxman 1]

I just had my surgery on 8/13. I'm down 20 lbs already and feel great. But today during lunch I vomited! It was terrifying I was dry heaving for a while but nothing was coming up. Should I call my doctor? Or wait to see if its an isolated incident?

Why do you think you vomited? Vomiting at this stage can cause the sutures holding the band in place to tear away. I'd call the office in the morning just to be safe but they'll probably tell you to go back to liquids for a few days.

Slow down when you eat and don't gulp food or fluids. It takes a while to understand how slowly we have to eat.

Did the dr put any liquid in your band when you had surgery?

Taxman how is it going?

Hello all,

I spoke to the doctor and he told me to back on liquids for 3 days. I had some natural Peanut Butter and I think that is what made me sick as it got stuck on the way down. I am feeling much better now back on only Protein shakes and Water.

I don't know if I have any liquid in my band or not, doc didn't mention it to me. I don't even know what type of band I have

No worries. Me either. I have no idea how many CCs are in my band. I do think mine is a 14 CC band though.
