First Time Throwing Up...



Recommended Posts

So I threw up for the first time since being sleeved today. I have no one to blame but myself. I was eating salmon and got that restriction feeling. It was subtle, but it was there. I only had a couple of tiny bites left on the plate so I finished them. BAD IDEA! It is so hard mentally to get used to the idea of wasting food or not "cleaning" the plate. I started salivating like crazy and before I knew it I grabbed a trash barrel and started throwing up the entire contents of my little tummy. As I'm staring down the barrel, the only thought going through my mind was, "damn, there goes all that protein." lol. Anyway, I share this as a warning to all newly sleeved and soon to be sleevers, when you get that restricted feeling, DO NOT IGNORE IT! Do not take another bite, not even one.

. I started salivating like crazy and before I knew it I grabbed a trash barrel and started throwing up the entire contents of my little tummy. As I'm staring down the barrel, the only thought going through my mind was, "damn, there goes all that Protein." lol. .

I always feel my nausea deep in my stomach followed by my mouth watering like crazy until I can get everything back up...it's an awful pre-cursor! I've thought the exact same thing, as my doctor tells me to get more and more Protein in, first 60 then 80 now 120 grams a day (what a joke!) every time you vomit you lose that precious precious protein!

What does the "restricted" feeling feel like? Is it in your throat or stomach? Does it feel like being full, pre- sleeve? I'm not sleeved yet and trying to prepare myself!

It feels like a piece of food at the top of your throat about 1/2 inch behind your tonsils where you can't see or where the "dip" is in your throat for a woman's neck in front. I have it often and have to force myself to throw up no matter what I eat unless its Soup or grits. Anything else I still have trouble with. Sleeved June 25, 2012

Looking ahead- did I read that right? Your having to make yourself vomit every time you eat unless its Soup?

Wow, thanks for the head's up! Really puts an emphasis on eating slowly and paying attention to what your BODY is saying and not listening to what your BRAIN wants to do. Lesson (I hope) learned. :)

Been there, done that. I have to stop way before I get that feeling. I am a plate cleaner too and one bite too many will bring it on. Slow eating for me is the key.

LOL "There goes all that Protein."

      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.
