Three weeks post op is surgery recovery time. If you are in bad pain you should get medical attention. But if you are exceedingly uncomfortable because you ate too much I would not advise throwing up. The wrenching of your guts with vomiting can pull sutures out. I'm not a doctor. I don't know what you ate too much of. At three weeks post op I was halfway through my six weeks of liquids only. I was not allowed chewable food.

Listen. Most of us screw up along the way. Get back on track, chalk it up to momentary weakness, forgive yourself and have a rock solid plan for tomorrow. Going with Soup and other liquids all day tomorrow might be a good idea to give your band a needed healing rest. You'll have to do that after every adjustment in the future anyway, so it's not a punishment. Just a recovery period.

shake it off. Remember why you did this enormous life changing surgery. After half an hour, sip some warm tea and call it a night.

Don't give up on yourself.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
