Day 2 of Gastric Balloon

The first 5 days were the worst, feelings of discomfort and bloating with a few episodes of emesis and nausea as well as colic pain which was the worst. I will say that now 7 days in I can drink more water and tolerate food better, I still have feelings of hunger and of course cravings however my intake of food is less and I constantly feel full or what I describe as bloating. In fact I will say the main side effect as of right now is the constant burps. I currently don't feel like I have a balloon in place (surprisingly).
I am excited to get back to my regular routine of working out and hoping to see the weight trend down.
Will keep posted.

I decided to pursue the bariatric balloon to help with loosing at least 20 lbs. I live a very active life a style but I did need a little help with my diet. I tend to eat out too often and the portions are big.
Day 1- hours post procedure I had stomach discomfort and I did have emesis.
Day 2- more emesis in the morning
and more discomfort. I went in for IV hydration and IV meds as per protocol
