i have been going through. It is so hard to get the fluids and protein in. I throw up all of the time , i need some suggestions and advice

My only suggestion is for you to call your surgeon if you're throwing up all the time!!!!  This should not be!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, call your surgeon or get to the ER and have THEM call him!!!

Hugs,

I agree you SHOULD NOT be vomiting all the time! Please call your surgeon and discuss that with them.

As far as fluids and protein the best advice I can give you is to always have a bottle of water on you and sip sip sip.  I know its hard but it WILL get better!

I hope you're doing ok, but PLEASE call your doctor!!

I am sorry you are having a hard time.  I hope and oray you did call your surgeon.  Please let us knw what the doctor says.

Oh dear i do hope you took the good advice here and called your physician yesterday. Im not sure what you had done but you definitely should not be throwing up all the time. I had a lapband and came home on the 20th as well. I have to say I had problems getting fluids in and if I had tried to do the protein shakes I would have been puking too. I stuck to all clears until yesterday. As one person said just keep water and sip sip sip. I mostly did jus****er and broth and didnt over do it on either one, but just kept sipping. Yesterday I advanced myself to have some of a protein drink and then last night I actually ate some Campbells cheddar cheese soup. Please if  you cant tolerate liquids then call your doc and let them know.

I hope that your doctor was able to provide some assistance.  It is very difficult to get in the fluids and protein in the beginning...sip...sip...sip!  It will get better though!

Any update? Praying for you.
