Three weeks post op is surgery recovery time. If you are in bad pain you should get medical attention. But if you are exceedingly uncomfortable because you ate too much I would not advise throwing up. The wrenching of your guts with vomiting can pull sutures out. I'm not a doctor. I don't know what you ate too much of. At three weeks post op I was halfway through my six weeks of liquids only. I was not allowed chewable food.

Listen. Most of us screw up along the way. Get back on track, chalk it up to momentary weakness, forgive yourself and have a rock solid plan for tomorrow. Going with Soup and other liquids all day tomorrow might be a good idea to give your band a needed healing rest. You'll have to do that after every adjustment in the future anyway, so it's not a punishment. Just a recovery period.

shake it off. Remember why you did this enormous life changing surgery. After half an hour, sip some warm tea and call it a night.

Don't give up on yourself.

Just watch me. That was the nicest post ever ????. Just called my dr. He said basically what u said!! I am on soft meats and cooked veggies. Had baked chicken with some veggies. He said i will b fine just to use this as a learning exp and dont do it again. I am sooo miserable. Just horrible full feeling. Have to stay sitting up with small sips Water. Thx again. I will do liquids tomorrow.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
