i have pepermint tea i just bought some its okay, it kinda helps for awhile

hey guys, so i saw my nutritionist and my surgeron today. the nutritionist talked about what i was eating. she said i wasnt getting in enough Protein in. and that i should be actually eating protein, not drinking it. she asked me how long it took me to eat the meatloaf i had last night and i said about 15 mins and she said i was eating it too fast. i cant remember whatelse we talked about, she told me to focus on my eating and protein and if i have any questions to call her. now my dr. he said he didnt know what was causing the nausea. he thought for sure that i was going to be fine the last time i saw him. he said it could be because my stomach is sensitive and it should get use to it. he also wasnt sure what was causing the rash so heh. he said to go to my primary care dr so what he thinks. he told me to keep taking the nausea meds as needed. he also said that he had a patient with bad nausea too and she ate a pickle and she felt great so thats weird, he told me if i need to, eat a pickle before my meals. he wanted me to get bloodwork done(was surprized they got any blood ) to check my protein level i think and a few other things. he told me to hang in there and he wants to see me every two weeks.

this is just a curious question question is: is there a such thing as being alergic to the band? thanks

thanks I have some and it don't taste good to me lol

okay I will let you know (:

ahh thanks (:

i cant drink a full glass of water in an hour, im always getting a new glass (these are tall glasses) once school starts ill be having water bottles for school during the day. but yeah, it could be why. i only wash my face once and thats at night, sometimes i do it twice a day. i use clean and clear oil-free continuous control acne wash and it doesnt seem to be helping. my acne started getting worse at week 3 probably, i wanna try the acne free, i looked it up and a lot of people like it

awesome I'll look for those :frown:

My face is really broke out is it from worrying? Or change in diet? What kind of face stuff is the best like neutragena or clean and clear?

awh thank you

I was banded July 31st, I was on clear liquids for a week, full liquids for a week, started mushy/pureed on aug 15th, on pureed for two weeks, supposed to be on solids now but can barely eat anything without getting nauseated and I don't nessarally think it's my stomach that making me nauseated, I actually think it's my throat that's making me nauseated, it feels like there's phlegm in there or something. I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough water if I don't my stomach gets really upset I can get sugar free Popsicles down. I just hope he figures out what it is that's making me sick =

ah I see okay (:

so wait is it like a barium swallow? Cause I had to drink chalky stuff and they watched on a screen and took x-rays I had to have that done on aug 7th to make sure everything was good cause I had bad nausea and everything was fine

okay thanks (: And youre awake with the upper GI right? And the chalky stuff is like numbing stuff? I have really bad gag reflexes. I can't wait till he can sort it out for me. Nope it's my last year of high school (:

the only thing I don't have is heartburn, I can get Water and proteing drinks, sugar free Popsicles down I just can't get food down or even Soups without feeling like I gotta vomit =$ hope the dr finds out what's wrong cause I'd like to be better before school starts which is the 8th = Tell me if they find anything and if I have to get the upper GI or an endoscopy done does it hurt? I think I have reflux cause it burns in my throat sometimes Thanks (:

productive burp, it's not actual burping, you regurgitate what you ate that got stuck, and it's painful o.O

I feel a little better but when I eat something I feel nauseated, still get dizzy when getting up, and that feeling is still in my throat, two more days till I see my dr, can't come any sooner argh!

thanks i see my nutritionist and my dr wednesday

I was banded July 31st, my dr requested 1 week clear liquid(couldn't get anything down besides water and a little bit of protein drink) due to nausea, 1 week full liquids nausea began to get better and I was able to have some soup, some diet snapple, some Gatorade G2, 2 weeks of mushies, had some oatmeal, sweet potatoes, Gatorade G2 , water, pureed chicken, and mashed veggies. On aug 21st I ate something wrong and that was those new cheetos that like melt in your mouth (literally) and I've been like sick since then and haven't been able to eat much got water and protein shakes down tried to get some soup down but it made me feel nauseated, I had a regular mashed potato and it went down fine one day, I got sugar free Popsicles and no sugar added fudgicles I got some yogurt down like a little more than half way empty before I felt nauseated, had some mashed veggies, and today all I had was a yogurt, a Popsicle, two fudgicles, and a sweet potato and two protein shakes and when I had the sweet potato, it made me feel nauseated like what the heck, I see my dr on Wednesday, hopefully he can figure why I'm getting nauseated when I eat and why ive been sick all week grr what is B12 I know it's a vitamin but what kind?

there's gotta be somebody out there lol

yeah i know but is it safe to basically go from not being able to really eat anything all week to go straight to solids? im still kind of sick i dont want to make myself sick more, ya know? the only thing im scared about eating solids is getting sick like i have been, i still have to see my dr, maybe my band is too tight idk what are some good choices to eat? that taste good too i guess im just nervous too

So I was supposed to go to solids yesturday but couldn't really eat anything cause I didn't have an appetite and I felt sick to my stomach when I took my first bit I started feeling better at night so today I was feeling fine, had yogurt a sugar free Popsicle, and for dinner I had a mashed sweet potato and now I feel like I got to puke it back up, ugh I had like a little over 5 small bites so that makes me worried when I have my solids which I will get on my way tomorrow, I already know I haven't been getting in a lot of cals or protein it's just hard when you get sick to your stomach you know? But what have you guys have when you first moved to solids? Breakfast/lunch/dinner?

Most of you know I was sick all week and didn't have much of an appetite but I tried eating but couldn't get alot down before I felt nauseated. I got some sugar free Popsicles down and half of yogurt and protein shakes and water. So I was supposed to start solid food yesturday but should I just stick to mushies for the week? I'm also kind of scared to start solids anyways, I don't wanna get sick again plus school is starting soon

try having someone pat your back, walking around does help get rid of it, it helped me get rid of mine. I think it lasted 3-4 days. It was so long ago I can't remember haha I was banded July 31st, try a heating pad that also helps (: it'll go away before you know it :wub:

haha mine itch really bad, im gonna wait til i see my dr so he can tell me what i can use to make sure
