help! it is hurting to drink clear liquids!

[Just Banded 0]

I posted before about my double pb on Monday

Tuesday and Today I have been on a clear liquid diet of plain tea, sugar free popsicles and broth

I am sipping extremely slow- it is taking me an hour and a half to consume a cup of tea or the broth and it doesn't feel good at all.

Has anyone felt this way? If it doesn't resolve by tomorrow I am definately calling the dr...

if anyone has any experience with these issues- let me know to get me thru the night!

I hope you're ok!

But it is important to stay hydrated; the liquid shouldn't be HURTING you. You may already be hurt but the liquid won't make it worse, in other words. I hope it is just that your stomach is in a tizzy.

Good luck...and you're very smart to call the doc tomorrow if you don't feel better in the AM.

you may have slipped, call you doctor asap.

Drinking liquids should not hurt. I would speak to your doctor as soon as you can : /

Ok just read your post about your PB. Why didn't you call your doc today? Actually johnsonsnickers may be right if you had similar symptoms yesterday; you probably should've called today. You can dehydrate REALLY fast.

And FYI a slip doesn't necessarily mean doom; sometimes an unfill and some time to heal/calm down will take care of it. So call them as soon as you can.

I have managed to sip my way through 50 oz. of liquid plus popsicles today (not sure what they add up to) over the past 12 hrs.

I have peed 5-6 times today and it's like crystal light lemonade, so I hope that doesn't mean I'm dehydrated!

It feel almost like a fist that keeps closing tight if that makes any sense. I cannot take in the next sip unless I burp.

I'm misrable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ironically I will be the same misrable if they take my Fluid out! But I know I need to do what is best for my health and before things get worse.

Thank G-d my melatonin is sublingual so I can go to sleep tonight!!

Ok you may be mildly dehydrated (50 ounces isn't much, considering that you aren't eating and we get a good bit of liquid from food, too) but you probably aren't in danger tonight! Unless you start to feel other symptoms...dizziness, change in level of consciousness, heart palpitations...

Yes call your doc first thing, unless you can call tonight?

Even if they DO have to unfill you, it will be ok.

Good luck and let us know!

Call the doctor. It sounds like you may have some swelling combined with the Fluid in your band making you too tight even though prior to this you were at this fill level without problems.

went to dr. they took out 1 whole cc and took an x ray

told me stay on liquids for a few more days

luckily no slip!

apparently I was at 4.2 and now 3.2

I feel better, still swollen...so full force hunger hasn't set in yet...

the nurse told me to try drinking a lot of Water before meals so I don't want to eat so much- ha!

woe is me

Good for you going. You'll get refilled soon enough; better you are ok and stopped this before you got dehydrated or slipped or something.
