I had a fill about 4 weeks ago. Everything has been ok. But today I think I grazed all day. I just have been really hungry. For supper I ate a biscuit. I didn't chew well and it got stuck. I threw up and felt better. An hour later I was hungry again so I tried some oatmeal. 3 hours later and I am still throwing that up. not all of the time but a little here and there. I can feel it in my throat. I have had no other problems until today. Do you think I just over ate and it got stuck? Is there an overfill? I am soooo sleepy and can't go to bed because I can't lay down. Is it swollen or something? Please help.

When you get food stuck and vomit you usually have swelling after. For this reason, most Dr's have us go on a liquid diet for at least 24 hours and then soft foods until you feel like you can eat normally again. Usually, we are told not to take ibuprofen, but it s often suggested for swelling. Perhaps you could get some children liquid if you don't want to swallow pills or get the gel caps and try that if you feel the swelling is really bad. If you are still worried tomorrow or having a lot of pain, call your Dr. I've gone through this a few times. It sucks, but a day on liquids usually settles everything down, Good luck to you!

      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.
