Well, I got the lap band and now I'm regretting it! Wednesday an ambulance had to be called out to the house because I couldn't keep anything down. At first if was just the protein stuff but by Wed...nothing would stay down. I couldn't stand up straight and was completely miserable. My husband brought me in the laptop today so I could find some help because I'm not getting it here. Today was the first day that I was allowed to eat anything because I was severely dehydrated and now have a kidney infection. All I have eaten today is less than 2 oz of chicken broth and I feel like a rock is stuck in my stomach. I ate the two oz around 1 and it is now 8 pm. I'm burping and farting like crazy, have the runs and feel terrible. I haven't seen my nurse since she came in around lunch time to say..."Just don't eat anymore and you will be fine." 7 hours later....still feel the same. Any advice??? :cool2:

Kimmie, so glad to see you posting! I was starting to get a little worried!

Take care of yourself and follow orders. If you feel ANYTHING, get yourself back to the hospital!

Best wishes to you!

I was banded months ago, had 2 hospitalizations for severe dehydration, had my band unfilled and have been unfilled ever since but continue losing weight,,It gets better, everyone has a different start. Good Luck

Thank you everyone for your words of encourgement...I really needed it! I had a bad spell yesterday when I switched to mushies....I had some soupy tuna and I got sick. I guess tuna is out! The good news is I'm down 24.2 pounds!!!! YAY!!!!

Any suggestions on easy mushies would be much appreciated. I'm so tired of pudding, Jello and popsicles but I'm afraid to eat anything else!

Mashed vegies with gravy.You can eat potato, carrot, pumpkin,cauliflower,broccolli etc etc

I had some mashed potatoes and gravey last night and it was soooo good! I kept it down and feel pretty good. I also lost another 1.6 pounds since Sunday! This is starting to get better....
