Unfilled Completely and still can't keep water down???



Recommended Posts

I started having issues on Wednesday 5/28 so I went in the next day to have some Fluid removed, could not drink Water so went in yesterday to have all the fluid removed and as of this morning I STILL cannot keep even water down? I realize I am still swollen but this is rediculous. Should I drink warm/hot water vs. cold? Should I keep trying to drink something and hope that some of it is retaining being that I am pretty sure that I am dehydrated from not keeping anything down for the past two days? HELP any suggestions? :(

have you tried sipping the Water. Only take in small amounts. I would also try room temperature...it is closer to your own bodies temp and might be easier to handle. I would also suggest you call the doc or his nurse.

Good luck!

I have been calling my doctor and he suggested on Wednesday evening that I go in the next morning to have some removed, however I needed to go back in yesterday and have the totally remove all the Fluid. My stomach does not just hurt all the time but as soon as I start sipping Water it starts to ache right away. I will probably give him a call again today as I have lost 5lbs since Wednesday and am positive that I am dehydrated?

I have not been banded yet but I have read the others say that warm liquids go down easier. I would try to sip some hot tea.

Dehydration is nothing to play with if you are going out several days without being able to keep anything down. At this point, since it is continuing and you have had a complete unfill I would think that it might be time to go have some testing done in case you have had a slip.

Cold doesnt work for me when I am readlly tight. It has to be lukewarm or a hot beverage.

I would put in an another emergency call to your doctor. Dehydration is dangerous and very easy if you can't drink anything.

This is an emergency situation, and you may need an i.v. to get some fluids in. When you had the unfill, did you have a fluoroscopy to check the position of your band? If you are still unable to get Water down, don't let this go over the weekend.

      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.

      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!!
