I just wanted to start a March group. My surgery date is March 2nd.

I had 2 oz of broth. They told me to sip it out of medicine cups. It came back up within 30 mins.

I haven't vomitted since but I've only been sipping Water . I hope breakfast goes better.

i reckon it would be scary.. thats a very small amount to bring back up. i wonder why it came back up like it did?/ how much at a time out of that small container did you swallow??

I have heard that some people have a hard time even with the initial prime to start... Hope you are doing better soon.

Great news today! I got approved so I'm right on schedule. Day two of pre-op diet, liquids, not too bad. Surgery the 22nd of March. WooHoo!!

Great,I'm happy for you,mine on.3/21 Austin tx.

Thanks Jhaywoo.....good luck on your journey. Are you on liquids now? I'm in Oregon.

SGP78- I also have that feeling once in a while. Its almost like I have to burp then it gets stuck. Weird...

My dietician said the band sits where u usually feel full markers are. So ur body wants to burp up the band lol

Judy I sipped about 0.25 oz at a time. I asked for a different medicine last night but it gave me no Pain relief whatsoever. So this morning they gave me another 1mg of the dilaudid (or however you spell it). I hope it doesn't cause more nausea or vomitting .

Otherwise I feel that I'm doing really well. I've been up and moving and walking and it's really helping the gas. Idk what I would do without you guys support! Luv you guys !

you will be o.k.. in fact you are doing really well even now. great to hear that hou are up and moving around. that should help move the gas quickly. Have you had surgery before?? do you have a history of vomiting with surgery?? why i ask you this is.... ive had so many ops over the years. over 20 of them, ive lost count. i have a problem with vomiting that is getting worse as i have each surgery now. the last surgery was two years ago. that was a minor one, i wasnt truly out to it that time. the time before it was a knee replacement and i was so sick afterwoods. this is really concerning me now. im going to have to talk with the anesthesiests next week about it all. they need to know my history. especially when its band surgery. i dont like the though of heaving my stomach out when its just had a band put around it. Keep us posted on how you go. i hope that your nausea has gone by the time you read this.

..more on this one.. should have included it in the above. i agree just so much about how precious this support group is... you are all very special.

thats really interesting to know.. and very handy info as well... how are you doing??

Getting banded on Thursday, I'm so nervous! I keep having a fear that I'm going to do this and nothing will change. Mostly I worry that once I'm banded I will still have the same hunger pains but I just won't be able to do anything about it. I think I'm just freaking myself out....anyone else have this problem? Or has anyone already been done that can tell me I'm freaking out for no reason?

I've had tonsilectomy and I don't think I threw up ... But now that I think back on it I may have. I remember some type of pain in my incisions in the back of my throat bc of the acid that was coming up.

Then I had jaw alignment surgery . I threw up as soon as I woke uP. Yesterday they gave me An anti nausea patch and some nausea meds in my IV. I still threw up. I think I'm doing much better now and thanks for all of your concern. I hope they will find some relief for you so that your process goes smoother.

Sunshyne068- I am day 6 post op. Do you have any anti nausea meds? It is not good to vomit, so I have heard. Also go very slowly about 1-2 min between sips of ur broth this may help. The pain you are feeling is gas pain. Try drinking warm tea and take some gas x. It has done wonders for me. I have not actually had any pain because I have been taking gas x 3-4 times a day about 5 hrs apart and drinking hot tea first thing in the morning and again before bed. CONGRATS and best of luck on your journey..

I am doing good..sunshyne sorry to hear you are throwing up..did they give you anti nausea script? The worse thing for me so far was not drinking for over a day..going home soon.yayy
