suzthebrit 146 Posted February 4, 2013 Sounds like you are eating too much or too quickly. Try measuring your food and do not put more than half a cup on your plate. That should be mostly Protein and some veggies. When eating use the 20,20,20 rule. Chew 20 times, wait 20 seconds between bites and anything that is left after 20 mins push away. Oh and no drinking while eating, ever. Always wait at least half an hour after eating before drinking anything. I hope this helps. Vomiting is like a near death experience to me so I try to avoid it at all costs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suzthebrit 146 Posted February 4, 2013 I have no idea if vomiting can cause leaks if that what you meant. I would say that at 4 months out you should be ok but that should not be the only reason you try to avoid vomiting. Vomiting means you are doing something wrong and you can't continue to live like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleever963 12 Posted February 4, 2013 If you have spoke to your doctor and can't get any help from them I recommend contacting a nutritionist to review your diet. Possibly the foods you are eating is causing your problem. If not, possibly you are not chewing as well are you think resulting in your problem. Regardless, you need to see professional guidance from someone who can help you. Throwing up four months post-op is NOT good. I am also a little over four months post-op. When I hear I eat Protein, vegetable then fruit. Uusally Protein and fruit in the AM, protein and fruit for lunch then protein and vegetable for dinner. Whatever you do you need to consult a nutritionist to ensure you are eating the correct foods. Oh yea, remember, LEAN, very LEAN is a necessity. Fat in your meat can also cause you problems. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
