If you are throwing up, call your doctor right away because too much throwing up can cause problems like slippage. How long has this been going on? Did it start with the fill?

no, because after my fill i was able to keep stuff down after my fill. last weekend i was sick and couldnt keep any thing down and then i've been fine until today could i possibly have eaten something that i didnt chew well that has gotten stuck.

It could be due to you being sick. I have not had any kind of sickness (flu, cold, virus) since being banded but I have read here that some people get tighter when they get sick. Some people get tighter during time of month, I do a little but nothing extreme. I know I immediately get tighter when something stressful happens. You may have a stomach virus which usually doesn't last more than 24 hours. If you are still having problems today then you should call your doctor. He may want to do a slight unfill until you are feeling better.

      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.
