my update

hello everyone.  yesterday was a tough day for me.  i kept vomiting, went to my dr's appoint. to get my staples out and they gave me a prescription for reglan.  luckily i haven't had a vomiting incident since.  the doctor said that my band was tight and i had more restriction from the swelling.  at least i am not vomiging anymore but i have to be at my daughter's school for a music festival when all i want to do is sleep!  i hope i can hold it together today until after the show.  also the doctor said i could have protein shakes until tomorrow and then start pureed protein. thanks for reading. :) 

Karey, Just take it slow when eating. At 7 months out, I still have some vomiting almost every day. I know I eat to fast, and maybe try to eat to much. And remember to get in as much liquid as you can.

Karey, I'm very surprised that your doctor is allowing protein and puree this early!  My band was very tight and I had swelling and they had me on clear liquids for 2 weeks, then a week of full liquids and then into purees.  I found that starting the day with hot tea helped break up all the flem from overnight and then I could sip slowly the rest of the day.  The swelling went down after about 5 days and then I could drink with out much problem.  Today I had my first protein shake and I'm two weeks post-op.  Good luck.  Paul

Hi Karey! I don't really have any advice, but wanted to send you a big cyber [[[[[[[[[[[[[HUG]]]]]]]]]]]]] and let you know that things get better each and every day!

Hey Karey, I was going to email you to see how you were doing, but I guess now I know. Take it easy, make sure you are walking, sipping and resting. Talk with you later.
