This morning was my first (and hopefully last) vomiting experience. Well, the omelette was delicious- which was part of the problem. I'm feeling a little too normal and trying to eat a little too noramal-- lesson learned: EAT SLOWLY AND CHEW COMPLETLY!

I just kept apologizing to my sleeve. LOL. The experience wasn't horrendous, but I did cry about throwing up Protein.< /p>

I had my first one yesterday. Had some wonderful turkey. It was BBQ and soooooo gooooood! And well between eating too fast and one bite too many I had my first vomit. I was surprised at how non violent it was compared to when I would vomit before my sleeve. But I was saddened at the loss of protein.., I'm convinced that had I slowed, I could have had that much turkey though, it was only 3.5 oz, and I've had more than that of chicken in the last couple of days... But the chicken wasn't as good and I didn't scarf it up as quick.

Good luck to you and may this be our last time!

Glad that you both recognize it's either that you ate too fast or too much. I am 18 months out, have never thrown up and fortunately have a stop warning signal, my NOSE runs first starting with the sniffles, if I take one more bite, it runs like a faucet. You'll be like your old self soon, meaning your struggles will become habits and you won't see it as a struggle. We all have days that we can eat more than others, some days I'm starving. So a Protein Drink in between helps. The more carbs I try to sneak in, the hungrier I become. If at all, avoid them. We are all human and have cravings, I satisfy mine. Not in volume, it often doesn't take more than a bite or two. I now cook for others and take a bite. I love my sleeve. Love my time working out and the solitude and satisfaction that comes with it. The best to both of you.

I think we learned our lesson! And I agree with you-- I thought the vomiting experience would've been so much worse, but I guess when you only eat a couple ounces, it's not so bad. I've decided to lay low today and have a couple Protein shakes-- and try some BBQ shrimp this evening -- SLOWLY! Lol

Yes, it was def my fault. I should've paid more attention. 18 months and no vomit- awesome! I was actually just bragging to my husband last night that I never threw up. He said I jinxed myself. Haha.

I had my first experience after 4 months yesterday. Ate chicken breast too fast. It was way different than a sick feeling. It was horrible pain, weird cold saliva, and then it came up... But just enough until my sleeve was comfy. I'm thinking this is what some people call "sliming".

      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.
