Woodcrest, everyone is different. Most do quite well with their first fill. Throwing up is different than you've ever experienced. Food just surprises you by coming right back into your mouth. Quite foamy because its full of saliva. You just didn't have room for the saliva on top of the food. Pain usually indicates you took too big a bite, didn't chew well enough, etc. If you're having pain with even the tiniest swallow you may have gotten too big a fill. If you eat too much you will feel very uncomfortable and if its in chunks that won't go through the port you're in for a rough ride until it either comes up or digests enough to go thru. Avoid this by eating m&m sized bites and chewing them to death before swallowing.

How will I know when I am "stuck"
woodcrest92 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone. This is my first time visiting this site. It appears to be a great resource. Since my surgery, I've been able to eat pretty much anything I want, just alot less of everything. I have lost 35 pounds since my surgery on April 20, even without a fill. I feel very blessed. I have stalled in the last month, so I got my first fill yesterday. I am extremely nervous! I keep hearing about getting "stuck". I am wandering when I will know that there is a problem? Will I know as soon as I attempt to swallow something that it is not working, or will I seem to be eating just fine and then have pain and/or vomitting later? If so, how much later? At what point can I relax and know that what I have eaten has worked out okay? I really appreciate any feedback you all can provide. Thanks! I think I posted this in the wrong place before. Oops!:drool: -
