i do not have band but i saw an episode of fat doctor where a person got the band and the surgeon handed her a cup of water and if she couldn't keep it down he took some fill out. I hope you get to feeling better!

Welcome to the forums.
You had surgery just over a week ago. Your band area has been abused terribly and is angry and swollen. This means that any food or drink that goes near it is going to cause what you feel.
Remember to drink only sips and slowly. If/when you start food, small bites, chew thoroughly, then chew more.
Hang in there. Remember that the first weeks are the worst it will probably be.
Good luck,
Tek

Hi all - I never thought I'd post on a public forum mainly because I was afraid it would go unnoticed and I wouldn't get any responses. For any of you who have had lapband, please share your story or opinions with me. I am so curious to see how you all felt after surgery and if what I am feeling is common. I'm really struggling with this.
I had by lapband surgery on 9/17/20. I was initially nauseous and in physical pain but the pain of the incisions and actual surgery seems to be getting much better. I am nauseous daily. Even water makes my stomach hurt or feel as though I am going to get sick. When I drink protein shakes, zero calorie drinks, or other approved foods/liquids, my stomach doesn't take it well. I don't know what to do. I've talked to the nutritionist at my office and although I trust their opinion, I feel like I need to hear from people who have been through this first hand.
Please let me know if you have any advice or opinions on this!!
thank you!
