Had my 1st scare since surgery

So starting Thurs. I had HORRIBLE stomach cramps (vomiting, diarrhea the works) went to my internal medicine dr and she said possibly the stomach bug and gave me a prescription for bloodwork.  Pain, vomiting all got worse and worse...Monday morning was completely unbearable so I called the surgeon's office and they told me to come in immediately.  I went in and they did a complete fill then sent me down to have x-ray  well I drank the horrible drink and they sent me back to the surgeons office only to find out the foods I have been eating has not been digesting instead it was just piling up on top of each other so yesterday I had an emergency endoscopy and on liquids for two weeks.  That was the worst pain.  Is there a greater chance of this happening to me again after it has happened once?  Has any of you experienced this?  And YES I do CHEW CHEW CHEW and take small bites

Jessica

maybe your band was 2 tight!?! have your had any fills yet?
that has not happen to me i try to get food that are very moist so they go down easily :) 2 weeks of liquids sounds like hell all over again... hope your get better soon, dont lose hope:)
god bless

yes I was filled to 3.5cc but we completely unfilled me...yep 2 weeks of hell because I am starving

Jessica

3.5cc already? i know we had surgery around the same time and i havent had a fill yet, if you are losing a pound a week please dont get fills because that could happen again. My surgeon refuses to give any fills if you are losing which is good makes me feel in control.. take ur time with the liquids make sure u are ready to start eating again when u are healed.. good luck

 I am sorry you are going though this, hopefully some rest and letting the swelling and irritation go down will help it not happen again. With that said, whenever you vomit with the band you are going to cause irritation, and you should pretty much immediatly go right to liquids for a few meals to give it a chance to settle. 

As a reccomendation for liquids though, the College Inn Thai Coconut Chicken broth is DELICIOUS, and so is the roasted veggie and garlic herb. It's nice for a change of pace. I would also reccomend Click protien, it tastes good and is on sale at Amazon right now! 

thank you so much  I LOVE the click protein drink  I get the mocha mix it with milk  sugar free caramel syrup and ice  blend it up and it taste just like a frappuccino  yummmmmy

I got some new types of soup yesterday to try because chicken broth and tomato soup for 2 weeks just would not cut it

It also sounds like IBS to me which is the gift that keeps on giving. I have cramping meds I take at the very first sign of a stomach cramp.

the gastro whom did my endoscopy has me taking prilosec otc every day now
