I have been barfing my liquids today and have not had a fill recently. I am sure my band is swollen. I just took the liquid ibuprofen (how much was I supposed to take?), how will I know when it works? How long before I try liquids again? What temperature should the liquids be when I try them?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

AS, I will indeed post as the saga continues. Thank you for posting.

Mimi,

So sorry about your bad news. I sure hope things right themselves for you. I've read where a lot of times, even if there is a slip, an unfill and liquid diet can correct it. Do they have you on liquids now?

I was thinking of you yesterday. I had to go to my doc and have part of my last fill removed. Saturday when I tried to take my medicine the first pill got stuck and came back up. Then I tried to eat lunch and of course the first bite got stuck and came back up. By Sat night I couldn't even drink water! It was awful. I was almost ready to try the emergency room, but didn't trust those docs not to mess up my band. I decided to rest it, like you did, and Sunday morning I managed get some hot coffee down and chicken broth and NOTHING ELSE so I decided to see my doc on Monday. They took .2cc out of the .3cc he put in Fri the 31st. I'm feeling MUCH better now.

So they have me on 3 days liquids, 3 days of mushies and then solid food. I'll be curious to see what happens on the scales. According to their scales I've lost 2 pounds since the 31st when I was there last. Hard to believe since I had only chicken broth for 2 days! WTH?

Keep us posted on how you are feeling and I hope for a speedy recovery.
