A bit of a squeemish question, sorry!

Hi fellow bandsters,

I haven't posted for a while, but have been popping in to catch up now and again. Anyway I have a kind of strange question, not a very nice one, I'm afraid.

Apart from PB'ing, has anyone actually thrown up? This is probably one of my biggest fears in case I damage my stomach. The thing is, I work in a care home and a year ago, just before I had my op, there was an outbreak of D & V in the home and needless to say, I was a very poorly bunny and it was proberbly the worst sickness I have ever had as the throwing up was so violent. I work in the office and do not have direct contact with the Residents, but these things are airbourne and unavoidable. (as I sit here with yet ANOTHER cold!)

Anyone had experience of this?

Thanks

Mastiff Mum

I just recently caught a bug that made me vomit. Normally, I am immune to all the sicknesses my 3 kids bring home from school, but this one got me. It was really quite unnerving actually. I tried so hard to curtail or soften the vomiting, I was so worried. It was an aweful experience.

Fortunately, it just went on for a day. It was strange as I didn't vomit anything as nothing was coming up from my stomach to my pouch. So yes, I was worried about doing some damage.

But alas, all is well. I did a search on vomiting it helped to know that others went through this and came out fine.

I don't wish that on anyone. Stay healthy.

      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.
