If you vomit, do you try something else immediately?



Recommended Posts

I've had some issues not tolerating foods. I'm learning what to eat and what not to eat. My question is, if you do end up vomiting do you wait a little bit and go find something esle to fulfill the Protein requirement? After what I call one of my little episodes, I just can't face the thought of eating something else so I sort of skip it. I know we're supposed to get in the protein but after facing a potty I just can't face food again right away. Ugh!

I never did try anything else... Last thing on my mind was getting my Protein in... I'm sure that isn't the right answer

Great question. I assume you should count the miscue as a zero protein event. But, it sure is difficult to consume anything for >4 hours thereafter. Anyone have any good advice?

After vomiting I would suggest letting your pouch rest and not worryabout the Protein but get fluids in still

Never thought about letting my pouch rest. THank you so much for adding that. It all feels like a competition and how much Protein you get in per day is the finish line. Ugh, I'm wore out. But thank you for the responses ladies. I hate that y'all are dealing with it too but I'm gladI'm not alone.

      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.
