If I could keep liquids down I would evaluate my eating. Bit size, amount of chewing and time between bits. This is still something I slip up on, very easy to go back to old habits.

I would try a meal cutting my food even smaller that I was, focus on really chewing and time a minute between bits. If I still pb'd after that meal I would go for an unfill.

If I was having issues with liquids, I wouldn't wait, I'd call my doctor immediately for an unfill.

That's what I would do. Good luck.

Personally I wouldnt wait 2 wks to see the dr and get his opinion....in Two weeks you could do some damage to your band if you are throwing up. I would the office and ask some questions.

In the meantime If you think you are taking too big of a bite then you may be so try taking smaller bites and checking everything to the consistency of applesauce .... But still ck with the dr. ;)

bits should be the size of your pinky finger nail...try a day of soft food and liquids then slowly add other food but VERY small pre cutting food is a great idea I learned that one the hard way.

When things are that bad go back to see the doc. A little taken out could make a huge difference in how you feel.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
