I had my procedure yesterday, although I get expects nausea and committing I didn't think it would be this bad, when I got home I slept for a few hours and I work up to being in pain and feeling very nauseated threw up just what looked like Water and saliva I took the nausea minutes and the meds for cramping and then tried to have some apple juice and later some jello. I thought I was going to be fine and then I was getting really tired so I came and lay down again. Woke up after a couple of hours nauseated, threw up all the jello and everything came out. Today's second morning and so far I have thrown up twice I just took the anti-nausea minutes waiting few minutes and then on to take the anti-cramping, let's see how this goes. So far I have any mini both keep down anything that I try drinking, and it's been about 15 minutes since I took the anti nausea medication I'm still feeling really nauseous. I can't seem to find a comfortable position to sit or lie down. Anyone have any input would be greatly appreciated.

Did they prescribe phernergen suppositories?

No I didn't have any suppositories, but today is Wednesday night and for me it's day seven, i'm happy to say that I'm feeling a lot better I little bit of nausea and I could feel some acid in the morning so I took my believer and empty stomach waited at least half an hour took some antinausea medication and then drink about 3 to 4 ounces of protein shake and surprisingly that stayed down well. Throughout the day I felt better more energy was able to walk around little bit more not as much weakness and had some broth but now to be honest I'm getting kind of scared because I just realized that I don't feel the balloon as much and I haven't been feeling sick but so far there hasn't been any blue urine and I have a little bit of cramping in my stomach I don't know if that's from nervousness or something is wrong but I have my follow up tomorrow morning so hope all is well.

Hello everyone,
I have my one week follow up appointment on Thursday it went well I was down 8 pounds… Dr. told me to continue on liquid diet but I could progress to thicker liquids and to follow up with the nutritionist likely I got an appointment with the nutritionist the same day and she thought since I was doing so well I could progress to soft foods by today so I had scrambled eggs. So far so good except for a little queasiness immediately afterwords but that went away without meds just lying down and slowly sipping water. I have to say though I really like doing the protein shakes they seem to keep me full and lessens the hunger and cravings. And so far I feel like I haven't really lost any more weight I'm not driving myself crazy by weighing myself every day but now I'm thinking maybe I should . MThat's all for now I would love to hear back from all of you to see how you're doing as you progressed to solid food and how your weight-loss is going. Talk to you soon

Awesome! I'm scheduled to have the procedure on June 6th. I am terrified of the first two weeks, but seems you made it through and are doing well. Thanks for the update. Please keep posting!

Happy to hear it....just remember that it does get easier with each passing day...the most important thing is to keep the heartburn and acid reflux under control, and to try to stay as hydrated as possible....Good Luck....hope to hear from you soon!

I was struggling with reflux and constipation. I went this wknd and did a colon hydrotherapy session. I feel like a new person. I was able to poop and my reflux is better :)

Hello everyone.....just wanted to check in and let you know how things are going… i'm about six weeks postop and initially I had dropped a about 8 pounds.... But then it kind of steadied after the first week I'm guessing most of it was water weight and then as I started adding solid food I feel like I've slowed down a little bit....so far I've lost 15 lbs which to me seems kind of slow and I would be lying if I didn't say that I had some bad eating days where I wasn't home and I ended up eating something that I shouldn't have but for the most part I've been really good.... I think I might just go back to liquids again for a few days just to kind of reset myself.... If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it… Good luck to everyone hope to hear from you soon!

Have you considered that the 8 pounds was mostly water and you may still be losing fat, but the water weight is returning with the addition of solid (carbs) food?
I am at 4 weeks and rarely do I feel full - just like before the balloon. I had one sugar binge and put 5 pounds back on. Down 15 as of today - secret weapon - Steel Cut Oats. They feel like they stick to the top of the balloon, only thing that makes me feel full. And quiets my fear the balloon deflated!!!!
