Not Sure If This Is Serious Or Not...



Recommended Posts

Hey bandsters!

SO... i got a fill about 2 weeks ago and was doing pretty good. However, yesterday and more so today I have been pretty nauseous... its wierd because it almost comes in waves... i will be pretty good and barely noticing it and the next minute i will have a bucket next to me cause i feel like something is about to come up. The thing is that if I did throw up the only thing that would come up is liquid because I haven’t eaten anything today. I actually have food next to me but I can’t eat it because of this nausea.

Now the WIERDEST thing is that I’ll be having this nausea feeling and then my stomach will randomly do a rumble growl type thing and the nausea will be gone for about 30 seconds. I really haven’t eaten much in the last few days because I really haven’t been hungry. I had a bag of popcorn last night (that lasted me a few hours before I ate it all) but that’s really been it.

I have no idea what’s going on...so if someone could PLEASE give me any idea I would greatly appreciate it. I am only 18 and don’t know anyone personally with the band so I don’t really know what’s normal/not normal or fine/bad.

I figure I should just go to liquids or mush for a few days and see if it goes away so don’t bother saying that lol I’m more worried if this is serious or not..

Please and thank you for any help/advice/input

:wacko::(:unsure:

background: i got my band on december 28th 2011. i believe i have 5 ccs in my band currently and i have lost 40 pounds. (idk if that will help or anything)

It may not be band related at all, you could be getting sick. Especially if it's been 2 weeks since your fill. If it were ME I'd wait a couple of days to see if it goes away, then if not I'd call the doc. Try to keep yourself hydrated.

thanks!

i thought about if it was band related or not. the main reason i thought it was is because the pain is in a certain area (right below my bust line) which is pretty close to the band (i think?) and also because when i do have a "hunger" stomach growl the feeling goes away for a few seconds.. who knows it could be something unrelated to the band but i was just worried :/

If something worries you, you really should call your doctor. Good luck!

That's true, if you're really concerned, I would call your doc. No sense stressing out about it! :-)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
