feeling sick



Recommended Posts

Haven't been on here for a while been reading but as nuts as it sounds haven't had the energy after work to comment on anything. Ive had my 3rd fill almost 2 weeks ago and seeing the doc on friday again for another one. But the way Ive been feeling I think Im over filled.

The second fill I had there were a few stuck moments I actually thought it was funny as it was an experience even talked to the lump on my side thats the port, rubbed it like I use to when I was pregnant and told it I will take extra care not to put it ( the band ) threw so much stress. So is there something in the fill that they aren't telling us?

Its the time of year so I didn't eat proper food ....ate junk as this seemed easier to go down without getting stuck .... i didn't loose anything but didn't gain. I did feel hungry at times and told the Dr so he said time for another fill.

This time its worse. I throw up daily just can't get healthy food down without it getting stuck no matter how much i chew, yet chocolate and bad snack foods like burger rings type things there is no problem. When I am hungry i can't hold the food down so i snack the bad things just to get some energy, even Soup is an issue, won't be loosing anything again this week. I am 20 pounds from my goal weight.

Worse thing is i am beginning to feel more tired and weaker. I am getting asked if Im not well because i look it. I thought i would get over this but every day has been the same especially late afternoons.

Hopefully the Dr will agree that the reason is too much fill and take some out. I just want to eat my favourite meal of grilled salmon and salad just one day without rushing after the second bite to bring it up again. Last week I tried sushimi at a shopping centre, never had any problem since till this 3rd fill but this time it could have been so embarrassing, I barely made it to the bathroom. I don't even heave it just comes out like its natural.

Would love to hear some comments.

It sounds like you are overfilled to me as well but I'm not a doctor. Tell him or her exactly what you just posted so it can be taken care of and you can use the band as it's supposed to be used. No one should have issues getting food down other than sliders.

Thanks go walking I intend too tomorrow morning. Though just before leaving picked 2 small strawberries from my garden at work. Couldn't keep them down nor the Water that i sipped on the way home kept feeling like it got stuck and had to bring it up again. Then I get home an hour later I am starving because i would not eat any trash so i starved. I was able to get down a 1/4 cup tuna and a 1/4 piece avocado and shock me I kept it down!! Not going to let it fool me though still going to get some fill out!

      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.
