I'm only 3 weeks out and I'm getting frustrated with the spitting up when I eat. Maybe I'm eating the wrong things!!

Hi , I totally understand what you are going through because I am three weeks out and have never throw up so many times , I know when I eat purée foods and sometimes the smallest amount does that with a choking feeling . But I think we just have to heal and learn a whole new life style in eating , congrats on your sleeve and do what works for you .

One day this throwing up will be over and you'll be able to enjoy eating. Best of luck!

My husband and I never experienced throwing up. I think we were too scared and cautious to push our sleeves to the limit. I choked on a bite of soft chicken at 5 weeks and went back on pureed 2 more weeks. Are you following he plan? Some foods just don't agree with is I guess, but we have done great. I sure hope this ends soon.

I've never felt sick or threw up. I was verycautious with following the no drinking rule and also chewing small bites very well. Moist food helped a lot too. Hope you figure it out and get to feeling better!

If you are spitting up every time you eat, you definitely need to be in touch with your surgeon. You might need better anti-nausea drugs, or more guidance on what/how to eat, or to be checked for a complication such as a stricture -- but in any event, someone who is a medical professional needs to be taking care of you, not internet strangers!

I guess I am assuming you haven't been in touch with your surgeon about this -- if you have and you haven't been helped, honestly I would try my PCP or even another surgeon for guidance.

there is a lot of great advice here. you may simply need to back off a little on your foods, amounts, or add some good anti-nausea drugs to your regimen.

i am only three days out, certainly no expert yet. be patient and hang in there. i totally agree with calling your surgeon ASAP. if you aren't holding down foods 3 weeks out, you are also at risk for malnutrition and dehydration.

good luck!

It's not every time I eat.... and I was more so on here trying to get some support since it's still early in my surgery not looking for Internet surgeons just someone who may have experienced the same thing ????

Im 7 1/2 weeks post op. I know what your talking about. I think I need to learn to eat even slower. I feel like its just going to take time. Take care.

The only times I threw up was because I ate/ drank something too fast or had too much of it. Once you get a handle on it it'll be smooth sailing!

Hmm. I vomited nearly every day for 8 months. Only just managing to keep all of my meals down in the past few weeks. Some days were good, others terrible. Some foods I definitely can't handle (chicken) and some foods my stomach simply rejects! So I tried to stick to the foods that stayed down (ground beef, ground lamb), no salad (can eat salads now), potatoes (no rice). If I don't pay attention and swallow even a mouthful too much, up it all comes again! Still, very pleased with my weight loss, have most of my hair and full of energy!

We can also get strictures. A stricture will make it hard to get things down and make you throw up. It can be fixed and generally just with a scope. Talk to your surgeon.

[moonlitestarbrite 902]

of you are vomiting a lot it could be a complication, or it could be that you are eating too fast, or taking too much food in with each bite. or both. or eating too much in volume. or not waiting long enough after you drink to eat.

thats why its good to talk with your doctor's office. they can advise you if you need follow up with the doc. could be an issue or could be your learning curve.
