Having trouble keeping food down, had my surgery on 2/28/2011.

Last fill October 2011, last 3 weeks have had trouble keeping food down.

Somedays I can eat a little, next day back to protein shakes and protein bars.

any suggestions....

Need more info? Are you vomitting, PBing? What are you eating? How much have you lost? Restriction?

I have lost 94 lbs. I tried eating some fish last night, just a couple of forks full and I starting vomiting. I have no restrictions. I had a protein shake this morning for breakfast , with no problems.

sounds like you must have restriction if a couple of bites wont go down and is coming out. As far as the protein shakes going down ok, they should because that is a slider. If this has been going on for 3 weeks, maybe you need a little bit taken out.

Seems like your system is irritated...perhaps it would be helpful to return to a liquid diet for a day or so to allow everything to calm down.

BTW, I was advised by the dietitian that Protein bars, along with any type of granola bars are not good choices for the Band diet.

Hope you will feel better fast!

Why no protein bars?

Go see your doctor and have them check it under xray! Could be a stretched pouch tilting your band. I had a similar problem. They took out my fluid 4 weeks ago in hopes that my pouch and band will go back to where they should be and then I can get fills again. I go back in 2 weeks to check. The longer you wait, if that is the problem, the longer it could take for you pouch and band to get back in place. Go see your doc asap!

Why no protein bars?

My dr has never said no protein bars. In fact, he sells them in the office!

Holly Dolly good idea, I will start a liquid diet tomorrow

I am surprised on the protein bars, my dietician recommends them. I did try granola bars, no good. I do have an appointment with my Doctor, but not until 6/29/12

are you living through undue stress right now?? sometimes stress can make the band a lot tighter. it does with me.

i had/have problems eating fish as well , even before i had any fill... i think some people find they cant eat it .

I never had problems with fish before, I don't really have any stress, except I am stressing with my eating

problem

Im in the same boat bad thing is i cant even get liquid to go down... If im lucky i get a few cups of water down every other day .. Crazy part i havent had a fill since september! And i gained weight after it didnt get tight till march now ive lost sixty pounds since then went in for a barium swallow everything looked fine to tight tho so they took .5cc out and now im still to tight cant eat barley drink anything other then water comes back up sometimes even watet

I have had days that I can't keep water down, now it's just food, I haven't had a fill since October.

I have a 10 cc band and I my fill is at 6.25cc.

It is so frustrating i feel like i either have to be thirsty n hungry all day or try to drink and be in constant pain .. One drink and the heartburn and acid reflux kicks in and my shoulders and back get tight and im miserable all day and night

Today went a little better, I just had liquids for 3 days, today for dinner I tried a bowl of cream of wheat, it went down with no trouble and stayed down. Tomorrow I will just some soup.

krussell19 , when did you have your surgery, I haven't had any shoulder pain since the day after my surgery
