feeling sick



Recommended Posts

Haven't been on here for a while been reading but as nuts as it sounds haven't had the energy after work to comment on anything. Ive had my 3rd fill almost 2 weeks ago and seeing the doc on friday again for another one. But the way Ive been feeling I think Im over filled.

The second fill I had there were a few stuck moments I actually thought it was funny as it was an experience even talked to the lump on my side thats the port, rubbed it like I use to when I was pregnant and told it I will take extra care not to put it ( the band ) threw so much stress. So is there something in the fill that they aren't telling us?

Its the time of year so I didn't eat proper food ....ate junk as this seemed easier to go down without getting stuck .... i didn't loose anything but didn't gain. I did feel hungry at times and told the Dr so he said time for another fill.

This time its worse. I throw up daily just can't get healthy food down without it getting stuck no matter how much i chew, yet chocolate and bad snack foods like burger rings type things there is no problem. When I am hungry i can't hold the food down so i snack the bad things just to get some energy, even Soup is an issue, won't be loosing anything again this week. I am 20 pounds from my goal weight.

Worse thing is i am beginning to feel more tired and weaker. I am getting asked if Im not well because i look it. I thought i would get over this but every day has been the same especially late afternoons.

Hopefully the Dr will agree that the reason is too much fill and take some out. I just want to eat my favourite meal of grilled salmon and salad just one day without rushing after the second bite to bring it up again. Last week I tried sushimi at a shopping centre, never had any problem since till this 3rd fill but this time it could have been so embarrassing, I barely made it to the bathroom. I don't even heave it just comes out like its natural.

Would love to hear some comments.

It sounds like you are overfilled to me as well but I'm not a doctor. Tell him or her exactly what you just posted so it can be taken care of and you can use the band as it's supposed to be used. No one should have issues getting food down other than sliders.

Thanks go walking I intend too tomorrow morning. Though just before leaving picked 2 small strawberries from my garden at work. Couldn't keep them down nor the Water that i sipped on the way home kept feeling like it got stuck and had to bring it up again. Then I get home an hour later I am starving because i would not eat any trash so i starved. I was able to get down a 1/4 cup tuna and a 1/4 piece avocado and shock me I kept it down!! Not going to let it fool me though still going to get some fill out!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
