Orbera ballon (Day 1 )

So after much long research here on real self and other sites I decided to go with the Orbera ballon with dr Misra at Beverly Hills physicians. I was nervous the week leading up to it especially after reading so much stuff on the internet but I’d already made a decision. I started my liquid diet Saturday and Sunday and my procedure was done today which is Monday. I went in at 7:15am I was out of the office by 10am. It’s now 3:00pm and I just took a few sips of low sodium broth from a spoon (maybe 2-3 sips very small) and 1 very small sip of Gatorade and I feel something lol can’t say it’s pain or nausea. I’d like to say that if all the reviews I read I’m really trying to take it slow I was told I should be fine today u till later on tonight or in the morning then I may feel icky nauseous vomiting etc so I will keep you all posted . I’m excited I’m sitting propped up on my back I’m a little afraid to lay flat I feel then the acid reflux may start to bother me . I’m also very scared of when the effects will start . Dr misra is the best she’s so sweet and caring you can tell she loves what she does and gets joy out of seeing her patients happy I have her cell number I’m able to text her about anything and she texts me right back she’s definitely made this process easier pre op and post so far

I feel queasy just staying in the bed I wanna get up and go but I feel I may get out and get a surprise of pain and vomiting. I threw up last night a little I had half a sugar free popsicle and 2 small sips of protein shake and it came up. More thank anything it’s just uncomfortable . I couldn’t get any sleep last night so I was very emotional but no pain yet I hope it doesn’t come . This morning I took maybe 4 tablespoons of some miso soup and a sip of water . The meds have been helping

Almost 5 weeks out I’ve lost 15 pounds . I want to drop at least 20 more I haven’t been eating as clean as I should but definitely small portions . I feel great every now and then I have a uncomfortable feeling of the balloon sitting too high I’ve found drink something really warm and laying on my left side helps
