I had my Sleeve done four years ago. I still get sick if I eat too fast or something not good for me. I don't usually throw up any food mostly the slime or more like releasing a large burp but it is not a burp, my stomach clinches like I am Throwing up. (I know TMI) I know the obvious answer would be to just eat slower and better selections. I guess I am wondering if this is normal so far out of surgery. This does not happen all the time, sometimes I go a month or so without getting sick and then like now it is an everyday occurrence. I had a scope a few months ago to see if there was a blockage that is causing this but they said it was all clear. Please any advise would help, or is this just normal? I have lost 130 lbs from my surgery weight. Thanks David

Thanks for your comments, I have felt the same way that I am glad my sleeve is still working. I guess I was wondering if most people have this problem or if the symptoms reduce over time. My sister had the sleeve and has never been sick but I guess everyone is different. Honestly, I may not have lost as much weight if I was not getting the slimes.

Thanks for all your kind words it means a lot to me. I did do the Atkins diet years ago and it was not that bad, I think I will try jump starting with that and see how it goes.

My first year I lost 130 lbs and then just stopped losing. At first I was weight lifting and after a while it was just not doing any good so I lost interest in it and now I just try and walk. Because I have not lost in a while but maybe gained a little everyone is disappointed in me and says the surgery was a waste. I don't know exactly how much I have gained but at my lowest I wore 36 pants and now I'm in size 38. Which I started in a size 46-48. I think everyone expects me to be thin all the time. If I'm not losing I failed, and that is what I feel like is a failure. At first sugar made me sick but now I can eat sugar which isn't good, I need to cut it out. New Years Resolution possibly? My Vitamin D is low and I have heard that can effect weight loss, is that true? There are times I try and lose and nothing comes off. When I eat too much or to fast I still get sick so I know the sleeve still works, it just has seemed to stall. What do I do? I feel like I have let everyone down.

I was able to do the pre op diet because I had the surgery as a goal to get to. Like everyone I would have just gained the weight back and eventually just started eating big meals again.

Since my surgery 1 1/2 years ago I have been avoiding buffets for obvious reasons, not worth the amount of food for price. Last night we went to Golden Coral and discovered they have a pay by weight option. They give you a to go box and you get what you want and just weigh it. My meal cost about 6 dollars and my wife's was 16 dollars. I got enough to bring home some for later and they have a great variety. You can get anything that will fit in your diet and ignore all the fried foods that wreck a havoc on the sleeve. Anyone else do this?

I went there and they would not give me the kids price either. But they suggested the wright option. I have done this twice the first time my meal was only three dollars but I did not know about the to go carton. I filled it up more the second time cause I knew I could take it home for another meal.

I am 1 1/2 years out and it has only been a few months that the regular sickness is going away. But I still get sick once a week or every two weeks. I needed to identify what was making me sick, at first it was eggs and cheeses. I can eat them now in little doses. Breads seem to plug me up and I get sick fast, so I have learned to not eat the bread or have one small nibble. I also will eat flat tortillas, not pita bread. Eating too fast has been my problem also, I can't eat at the table I have to eat in front of TV to distract me from my small plate. Also make sure to not drink with meals, that seems to get me sick pretty quick.

I had same problem, I finally had my gallbladder out and I am just getting to feeling right. I was sleeved in July and GB out in December. I still get sick if I eat too fast.

I wish I could eat cheese but it seems to make me sick. Eggs also make me sick, two of my favorite things.

I was sick for months until I had endoscope and they found sores in esophogus. I was put on Prilosec and it has slowly helped with Nausea.

I was sleeved on July 23rd. I just got to 100 lbs lost. It has been hard, I get sick weekly. I can't eat eggs or cheese but I do drink milk. I mostly eat real small portions of chicken or beef. Chicken makes me more sick than beef though.

I had surgery July 23rd and when I saw my Dr the other day I was at 100 lb lost. Feels good, I still would like tio lose about 75 lbs more.

I am three months pst op and nauseated. I had an endoscope and had sores in esophogus. I am now on Prilosec it has helped and cleared up the sores. I have discovered through time that eggs and cheese make me sick so I avoid them and I feel better. Skim milk soothes my stomach, I put in those little strawberry milk shots and they go down just fine. I have always eaten fast and I still struggle with it. If I eat to fast I get real sick.
