So I vomitted last night. I mean REALLY vomitted!



Recommended Posts

Yes I know it was my fault. I was eating something I had eaten before. chicken sausage. But it was cooked on the grill and quite possibly too dry even though I ate it with some red sauce. I was ravenous last night (I'm PMSing) and took too big of a bite each time and didn't chew enough AND didn't wait long enough in between bites. Then the pain came. It wasn't unbearable but it was a slightly sharp pain in my chest and then the foam and slime started. Everytime I tried to burp it would foam and I would spit. Nothing really came up with it at first and then all of a sudden I gagged and I vomitted as if I didn't even have a band. I wasn't even expecting it. I retched 2, maybe 3 times and each time something came up with it and then I was done. Most of what I ate came back up and I felt a little relief but I was still sliming a little bit. Actually it was more like foam. I feel ok today. A little sore but ok and I'm doing just liquids today just in case but I know people have asked this before and I've searched trying to find the answer but I came up empty handed...how likely is it that I could slip my band by vomitting just once? I'm going in for a possible fill tomorrow, my 1st one, and my surgeon does them under fluoro so she should be able to see if I did anything to it, right? I will definitely tell her what happened. :bored:

Was there bile/stomach acid or just the foam/saliva? If it was just saliva and food then you didn't vomit it was a violent PB. This can happen. I doubt very much that you have slipped your band .

I don't need to tell you to be more careful in future because you know that already. But damn it can be so hard sometimes can't it. Especially when you are starving!

I didnt get that bitter yucky taste you usually get from a normal vomit so I'm almost positive there was no acid or bile in it. It looked like (sorry to be graphic) I just put my dinner in a food processor. It wasn't "watered down" looking like normal vomit does. And no you definitely don't have to tell me to be more careful next time. :glare: That was a very valuable, yet scary lesson I learned last night. I will NEVER do that again! Ouch!

I'm going to be more careful with my band from now on. I love it too much. :sleep: :bored:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
