I have been doing really well since my surgery two months ago. I have lost about 46 pounds, and I feel good about that.

He put in 3 cc's, and told me to stay away from carbs and eat lots of protein. I left that afternoon and wound up posting on here because I got so sick. I could not eat at all. I guess I should have known not to eat solids for a few days, but I didn't. Anyway, since then, I have had at least one or two bouts of PBing every day. I can't eat anything solid without it coming back up. I have tried everything. I can drink liquids fine, but solids are not doing well. I talked to the nurse this afternoon, and she said my doctor was in surgery and his scheduling nurse had left for the day, but she said maybe I needed to have some taken out. Is it normal to be sick every day? I have lost seven more pounds in a week, but I feel really bad. I have little energy, and it is getting harder to keep up with my class of six year olds when I feel this way. I wish now I had told him I never get hungry at all, because I was losing and still able to eat before the fill. What do you guys think?
You need to go get a slight unfill as soon as possible.
