What happens if you actually need to throw up for some reason other than eating wrong? I mean, if you just have flu or something and need to throw up, what happens?

It might take longer for the food to come up, like in the past I'd throw up a bit after realizing I was nausiated (sp) now it's like it has to bubble and brew for a few hours. Then, violently the contents of my stomach (below the band) come up.

Really, your body will take care of business.

I usually have a fill around 2pm..Dr. says have a Protein shake after fills and nothing else other than Soup, until the next morning.

Also..he says the REASON for PB'ing is eating too fast and taking too big of bites. His rule is no bite bigger than a nickle..now let me tell you this..when I started slowing down and taking the small bites; I haven't had a problem.

I thought I was too tight from my last fill and after a fluro, he told me the (pointing up) above information. I haven't had a problem since..Try it.

I PB frequently since my re-op.. But, I am trying to relearn how to eat, I had adjusted to post-band eating, and now it's post-band post-tightness eating.. trial and error. I PB at least once a day.. none of mine last for hours, the sliming can be horrendous sliming, and I get the golfball pain, but once I am done sliming I have no pains anywhere else.. I stop eating whatever I was eating after this happens, but I was not advised to go on liquids, and if I went on liquids, I'd not be eating food for a week now, and I would not be learning how to correct it!

I guess every doc is different? I don't feel like anything is irritated when I have an episode, I just get this feeling of "Damn I wish I hadn't swallowed/chewed/eaten like this".

      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.
