Morning --- not gonna say good morning this morning as Im soooooo tired I feel like Im gonna :faint: .........at any rate looking for someone to tell me what may be happening with me. last three nights in a row Ive been not able to get through the night with out tossing up the liquids I had before bed. Meaning, im drinking a bottle of Water or crystal light or some such thing before bed, I hit bed and with in 20 minutes I will spend the next 2 hours gettingup every twenty minutes to toss all the liquids up. Im ok if I sit straight up, tried this in the tub last night, however the minute my head hit the pillow I felt nauseous and with in several minutes I was rushing back to toss up the liquids....today other than being tired :notagree , i feel fine, and am certainly getting my liquids down, and even food.... am I doing something wrong?:cry

You are too tight. Whatever's in your pouch when you lie down refluxes up and into your esophagus. You might be able to manage it by not taking in any food or liquid for several hours before lying down, but in my experience that's only a temporary fix. You really need to talk to your doctor about getting an unfill to loosen things up a little.

Good luck!!

I second Alexandra's opinion. Reflux is a pretty classic symptom of being too tight.

Hope you feel better!

      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.
