ToDream 18 Posted June 3, 2011 Mindlessly eating has been my downfall today. It's not that I ate something bad for me or that I ate too much. I had a mini whole wheat pita pocket with a few slices of deli meat in it. I ate 1/3 of it. But I ate it while reading which was where it all went wrong. I didn't chew like I needed to, I didn't take tiny bites like I normally do. I took larger than normal bites, I chewed it a few times and gulped it down completely mindlessly. Then it sat there right at the middle of my ribcage like a searing hot poker. I massaged it there because sometimes that works. I've learned in the past that drinking anything definitely does NOT help so I didn't go there. Barely 2 minutes goes by. I hardly got "can you watch my stuff" out of my mouth before I was running. Its amazing how far the bathroom is when its an emergency. I emptied my poor lil sleevie into the porcelain god and stood there spitting like crazy. Those damn slimies that accompany this episode of stupidity to remind me that I did it to myself.... Thank everything that is worth anything... no one came into the bathroom and witnessed me voiding my stomach contents. I would have been the talk of the office for months that I *must* be pregnant! I noticed something interesting though about the whole experience. I didn't have that awful acidy bile-y taste after throwing up like I did pre-op. I barely had to rinse my mouth. It was strange to not feel that same yucky feeling after vomiting. Anyone else notice this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beadingnurse 116 Posted June 3, 2011 Yep...sounds very familiar! I don't think I ever throw up all the contents of my stomach; it feels like it is just the last few bites. I've thrown up twice at work and I agree that bathroom is a LONG way away! Oh well...we will learn from our mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted June 3, 2011 Are you on a PPI? I have noticed on the few occasions that I vomited that I didn't have any bile taste or any yucky yellow acid. I think it's the PPI that keeps it in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted June 3, 2011 I'm sorry you puked at work. I haven't puked yet and I'm not looking forward to the day I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savedbythesleeve 1 Posted June 3, 2011 I just did the exact same thing that you did with the mindless eating and puked my enitire sleeve out too! I wasn't reading, but I was totally distracted with a crying infant at home with an ear infection. I was hungry and rushing myself in order to tend to him as soon as possible and that's when it happened. The horrible chest feeling, I massaged it and beat on it like a drum because it does usually help......well not this time, right? OH MY GOODNESS!!! I hate throwing up and getting the slimies right before and after I do. I don't get the bile anymore either and I am not on a PPI. I just continue rinsing with cold Water and brush to try and get rid of the spitting which I hate SO BAD! Sometimes the only thing that will stop it is to suck on a piece of hard candy like a jolly rancher. I have to keep some in the house at all times in case a spitting episode arises.
