Has Anyone Else Never Thrown Up?



Recommended Posts

I was told and I was prepared to throw up after VSG. I read on here it happens a lot. I am 7 weeks out and havent vomitted once. I am glad, dont get me wrong but i want to hear there are others who never have. I feel like i eat normally now just smaller sizes so i am not eating just soft and i do feel restriction. It makes me feel like maybe i am doing something wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong if you're not vomiting. You are chewing well, not overeating, and your sleeve is tolerant of the food you eat. I am 14 months out and vomited a few times at your stage when I introduced a new food and my sleeve would not accept it. Salmon made me vomit an entire day, after it was all out, but it irritated my stomach so much I couldn't keep anything down. Be thankful you have a calm sleeve!

My surgery was on 2/13/12 and I've not thrown up since my leak test in the hospital. (I threw up in the hospital 4 times because I was strict NPO and the "gunk" in my throat kept building up and making me hurl.) I've not thrown up since. I also feel like I'm tolerating all food and feel pretty normal when I'm eating, except for the restriction. My book says that if a food does make you throw up, you either ate too much, too fast, too big of bites, didn't chew well enough or are just temporarily not tolerating that particular food at the moment.

I'm thankful to feel so normal so early, but I feel like you- I hope everything is all right and I'm still going to lose weight :s

I agree with what you are saying I felt the same way as I didn't have any problems either and still aren't having any difficulty eating. I am 7 months since my surgery and feel like I am still eating like I had before surgery only in smaller portions. I do find some things don't agree with me as well and give me heartburn but that is the only effect I feel. Keep up the good work.

I only threw up in the hosp. right after surgery. which was probably the anithesia and pain meds for me. I am very sensitive.

The only other time was when I took Vitamins on an empty stomach.. Highly don't recommed it..

I tend to eat fast , bad habit and never gets foamies, slimies or throw up..just lucky I guess..

I've only thrown up once in 7 months. I ate at Carrabas with friends and, not thinking, took a sip of my drink as we were leaving. I'd had bread and a good bit of fried seafood, along with a few bites of Pasta during dinner. By the time I got to the parking lot, I gave my dinner back. I learned a VERY valuable lesson about being super aware of drinking and not letting myself get too full with carb based foods.

Me! I have never thrown up. Since day one in the hospital everything has stayed put :D Now, I've had some nausea here and there, but I've just been very careful and I don't push it. At first I would go slowly and allow my sleeve to adjust. I will say I didn't try anything "different" for me until quite a few months after surgery. For instance, I'm not a fish eater, so I didn't eat any fish after surgery until last week when I tried some of my friends (still don't like lol). I stuck to foods that were simple but I knew that I liked. I was very happy when sleevie liked them too (like slow cooked pork roast).

Treat your sleeve kindly :) We are both lucky enough to have easy-going sleeves! I am definitely thankful for that.

I've never yakked, and the only nausea I've experienced was after eating some low-carb ice cream. Love my sleeve.

7 weeks out today and only threw up once...vitamins on an empty sleeve. I must have a steel bucket of a sleeve because I can eat anything! I get a very clear full signal even though I do still tend to eat fast (bad habit that I really need to break, lol).

Thanks everyone! It feels better to hear from others. I am so glad my sleeve is so tolerant and hope it keeps up. :)

I've not thrown up at all and it's been close to 5 months. Even coming out of surgery and anesthesia (which I normally do). I've not found anything that my stomach doesn't tolerate. No complaints on this topic for me.

I'll be 8 wks out tomorrow and I've also never thrown up. I'm surprised because I haven't always stuck to the plan and I still think I eat too fast.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
