Hi everyone, this is my first post. I was banded Monday and feeling sick today. I don't know if it's the SF stuff or what! I've been drinking about 1.5 bottles of water/day and a couple of Popsicles and some broth in the evening. Oh, and I was able to get down some Greek yogurt today. Just wondering if feeling sick was normal 3 days after surgery? Thanks:)

I had a few waves of it i was banded the 12th of this month. Try just sitting or laying down for a few mins until it passes. Hope this helps a little!

sounds like to me you might be dehydrated, up your Water intake, try sipping all day. Also I got extremely constipated from the anesthesia and pain meds and didn't go for 5 days and that made me nauseated, just a thought. Hope you feel better soon. It does get better!

Did your dr give you any chewable Zofran? If not, call and ask for some. It will really help! Also my anesthesiologist explained to my husband that the more fat one has on their body, the more the anesthesia is absorbed. So, it takes us chubby people longer for it to get out of our system....and could still be causing us to feel ill from it...even days later.

But up your Water too!

I also felt nauseous and I think it was from all the sweet stuff. I had some homemade veggie Soup and after that i felt much better, that at least tasted like food.< /p>

I took the prescription anti nausea, the Gasx strips and this last time I wore the Sea Bands. The are just wrist bands that work, well

Sit on your wrist pressure points. Moving every hour for 5 mins will help too even though it doesn't seem it, good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
