Nausea after 4th fill



Recommended Posts

Oh man...I'm nervous. I had my fourth fill on Friday afternoon. I took it easy, as usual, but decided that I was going to try some crock pot

pot roast/carrots for dinner. The first bite went down fine...the second...not so much.

I slimed and threw up for about 20 minutes...still wouldn't go down. Took a walk...threw up in the bushes. Came home and took a hot shower and it finally went down.

I laid down and took a bit of a nap for a couple of hours. When I woke up I ate some cottage cheese. That went down fine and made my belly feel better. However, I have this mild churning in my stomach...like morning sickness churning. It's not anything catastrophic but I definately feel blah!

Is it normal to feel the after affects of being stuck for hours afterwards? I don't believe that I did any damage to the band...because I specifically felt the food dislodge and go through. However, I've never once been nauseous since I've been banded and it scares me.

Oh...and talk about getting to the point where you really DO have to chew more than ever. When I swallowed that second bit I knew it was going to be bad!

Talk me down!

had my 4th fill last week, Monday. i felt tight and my dr instructs his patients(after fills) to stay on liquid for 3 days (min)...follow the steps of stage 2, 3 and 4 (real food) gradually. Look like you are progressing well. I have been banded since Feb 08 and have lost 45lbs so you are doing better than me on the this train ride. Keep up the good job !

Happy me !

hi i had my 2nd fill on monday and it was fine, although for my first fill i think i was more nervous than when i went in for the surgery! i dont know why, i suppose a mixture of bits i had read here and fear of unknown, it did take me a week or so to adjust to the band fill and lost 8lbs in the process (i was too scared after a stuck episode plus on holiday and didnt want anything embaressing happening!) this time much easier do have restriction, but i also get that sicky feeling, last time i did pregnancy test because i was so concerned! but it also happened this time and lasts a couple of days with me, so dont worry it all sounds normal to me:smile2:

Don't be scared..if you follow instructions you will be fine. Most doctors tell you to be on a liquid diet only for a minimum of 24 hours after a fill. Most say three to four days.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
