Hi all. So it's my 6th day and things are better. But at least once a day I start to slime and either dry heave or throw up liquid. I don't know what is going on. I KNOW i am not cheating--straight full liquids and nothing else.

docotor said that my band is very high up under my breastbone and when i feel the pressure in my chest it is my full feeling. how can that even be possible when the rest of my stomach gurgles with stomach pains??

i am heading back to work next week and how embarrasing it will be if i have to run off to the bathroom suddenly to throw up. my workplace is so small they will all hear me!!

i wanted to ask also about lifting. my doc says no more than 5bs for two weeks. wel my hubby has been home for the week helping with the kids but next week its all me. he is gone by the time we get up and i have a one year old who is more than 5 lbs!! how did everyone manage with this??

Wow, 6th day? After surgery? And you have good restriction? Wow! You are lucky!

When I got restriction I still felt hunger. Don't understand the commercials about 'not being hungry'...because I was. I'd eat til just a tad overfull (slime a bit). But I'd have to eat within another 2 hours. Seems like I ate all day long.

I know some are to eat 3 or 5 meals a day and that will do it for them...but for some, we have to tweak that. Even if it takes 6 hours to eat one meal...eat a little at a time.

Just talk with your doctor.

And if you are vomiting (ever) get seen immediately as vomiting can cause something to go wrong. If it's just sliming....just don't eat as much/as fast...and talk with your doctor.

      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.
