First Time Throwing Up- Did I Hurt Myself?



Recommended Posts

Last night at dinner I think I ate too fast or too much and at almost 3 weeks I threw up for the first time. Actually just a couple really hard dry heaves, sweating and had to lay down for a while. Maybe dumping? anyway, today my stomach just hasn't felt the same. I just liquids to let it rest but my stomach left achey and maybe like I had a little more gas/ nausea. Can throwing up or dry heaving cause damage at this point? Thanks!

More than likely you are fine. I puked the day of surgery and the day after about 10+ different times. It was horrible and I was worried about ripping the staple line but thankfully I'm fine. Just learn from your mistake and take it slower next time :)

I think I throw up almost everyday. I'm having a hard time relearning how to eat. Probably eating too much. I'm not worried about injuring my stomach.

you'll be just fine. Just eat tiny little bites, act as if you are a baby and you must chew your food 20x's. :) I'm also having trouble learning how to re-eat! hahah, its a beautiful challenge tho, I'm down 28 pounds my first month!

      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.
