I got my third fill yesterday and drank the Water he gave me with no problem. I got home and had broth for dinner and are about 7 or 8 spoonfuls before I was very full. I went to bed almost in tears because of the discomfort I was feeling. This morning, I woke up and drank about 2 oz of water before driving to school. I had to pull over to throw up, and then I had to throw up again as I was walking into the bldg. that was about 3 hours ago and I'm still very uncomfortable and constantly feeling like I need to throw up. I haven't even been able to drink any Protein Shake. Is this normal?!

I wouldn't call it normal, but its not unheard of to be tight after an adjustment for a few days. ( vomiting should never be considered normal ) Sometimes, you read on here where it happens up to a couple of weeks after the adjustment. Since you were able to drink "with no problem" at the office, It MAY be just some irritation/swelling from getting the fill. While you certainly don't want to risk becoming dehydrated, it may get better by this afternoon/evening to allow you to drink Clear Liquids. Best wishes.

when I had my 1st fill last week, the doc said to me "if you throw up in the parking lot or in the next 24 hrs on liquids come right back in". So based on what the doc told me, you should at least call him to see what he says.

I would say it doesn't sound "normal" to me. You may need a slight unfill, but I would call the doctor. Good luck!

Thank you for all of your advice I went today and had an unfill of .5 and feel so much better!!! It had gotten to the point where I was vomiting my own saliva; it was bad!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
