I am dying here, for the last week I have not been able to keep solid food down. I actually threw up water on yesterday. Saw my doctor 2 days ago, he sent me to dietician due to poor eating choices. I feel absolutely miserable, I cannot even sleep at night, I feel like I have something stuck in my chest. HELP!!!!!

Wow, I have some of the same concerns regarding the lack of attentiveness during after care. I too was banded on the 22nd. I had to go back in the next day because I had not been able to use the restroom (don't get me started). The only difference is my follow-up appointment is this thursday (day after tomorrow). I can only say be patient and consult your general practitioner.

I am having the same problem. Tomorrow will be a week since surgery and it has been a challenge getting all the protein in. I went to GNC on yesterday and bought some protein packs. I have been trying to mix them in anything I can because I am SICK of the protein drinks, they are starting to make me gag. I mixed some into the yogurt i had for breakfast it wasn't too bad. I will also try to mix some into my ice cream. At this point protein is my primary focus.

Me Too !!!!!!!!!! I was banded this past monday. I was doing fine until today, I have been starving. As I type I'm trying to eat a scrambled egg. I'm not sure if it's mental but i'm starting to feel better already. Has anyone had issues with fatigue?

Thank God for this site. I have been wondering if something is wrong with me. I had surgery 5 days ago and I think I'm ready. The only problem is my partner has no idea I've had surgery. He thinks i'm out of town and has been calling me constantly today, I know he's ready for me to "come home".

Thank You, i'm glad to know i'm not the only one suffering. I feel a little better this morning as the gas is trying to escape (ha.ha). I still hate that lump i feel in my chest. How many weeks has it been for you?

I am in desperate need of help/support. I was banded on Monday afternoon. Since then I have pretty much only been able to eat ice chips and drink grape juice. Today I added popsicles and pudding to the equation. I have had diarrhea since surgery and have only been able to urinate once today. I just resumed taking my vitamins today and I'm not sure if they made me feel worse. I feel this lump in my chest like something wants to come up but at the same time my stomach is growling to indicate that i'm hungry. What is going on with me? Am I possibly doing something wrong?
