Little worried, throwing-up



Recommended Posts

Well hello all. I am pretty much a lurker here. So i will begin by introducing myself. I am Louis and just got banded on the 24th of February. All was going great till today my daugher started throwing up. my wife called the doctor and they told us it was highley contageous. Well now I am scared. Ofcourse I am still on the liquid diet and have no solids in me but I am a little worried about heaving and such. Has anyone here been through this only a week or 2 post op? Should I just stop all intake right now and pray I do not start getting sick? i know there would be a chance of becoming dehyraded either way so should I just self induce it myself rather than throwing it up? Any and all suggestions will be more than welcome. Also good news about my journey thus far, I have dropped 22 pounds since last Friday. This band thing is great!!:biggrin1:

Call your PCP and tell him what is up..get a prescription for phenergan suppossitory, it is for vomiting. It helps, I kept in on hand all the time in the event I ever got sick.

I have had extremely severe vomiting and never have slipped my band. Try to minimize the vomiting as much as possible but dont stress too much. I once vomited soooo bad that I dry heaved for 5 minutes after my stomach was empty. I was a sore afterwards but I didnt slip my band. As you vomit try to concentrate on stopping. I know that once I get going, reflex takes over and I start heaving over and over again. However, concentrating on stopping if you cant stop really seems to help stop the dry heaves. If you cant stop vomiting, then try to concentrate on vomiting gentler. I know it sounds weird but it seems to help.

I've been nauseated all the time since having my gallbladder removed. I wear a scopolomine patch behind my ear at all times. This is about like Compazine and controls the vomiting wonderfully. The suppositories are good too, but they don't last as long. The patch will last for 3 days before you have to change it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
