Alimac-2007 5 Posted July 11, 2013 I started eating a boiled egg too fast, kinda forgot about my sleeve. It was embarrassing since I threw up in public. Not to mention acid reflux won't go away, I want the madness to end. It's getting harder to get enough fluids in because of it Any advice please? 3 weeks post op 20 lbs down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineR 128 Posted July 11, 2013 Sleeve is notorious for acid reflux and most doctors put us on medicine for an amount of time after. Are you on an acid reflux medicine by chance? They may have to change it or up the dosage if you are and they should start one if you aren't. Was this your first time having a boiled egg? Some things don't sit as well as before. Sorry you threw up Awesome weight loss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's getting harder to get enough fluids in because of it Any advice please? 3 weeks post op 20 lbs down I threw up for the 1st time on July 4th (vsg 6/11) and it was eggs too! And for the same reason you did-- ate too fast. Ick! Hopefully this is the last time for you. I'm paranoid now--- chew chew chew, slow slow slow. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have my next preop on the 31st I'm hoping I can handle it til then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeniseM 238 Posted July 11, 2013 One thing that has really helped me eat slowly is using a stopwatch app on my phone- I set it for 5 minutes, and take one bite every 5 minutes. It can get tedious, and my food always gets cold before I finish, but it ensures that I eat very slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted July 11, 2013 I am 9 months out and still throw up periodically....If my nerves are bad, it is like my stomach closes up and won't let me swallow......Tonight was a good example........my friend told me something that got me upset after having a wonderful visit with the team that look after me through this process....Could not eat.... So it can still happen now and then according to what you are trying or stress...But hang in there it gets less and less....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
