Elode 8,093 Posted November 8, 2014 @@NewKaren Hi can you tell me when that started happening? Have you been experiencing it since surgery or since you began eating "real" food? I'm just curious to when that may start. I just got out of surgery on Monday so I'm still on full liquids. I haven't experienced any of it so maybe I haven't reached That point yet?

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 8, 2014 I only vomited once and that was in the hospital I was eating ice chips and took in a piece that was too large. I practiced eating slow pre-op and after that ice incident I remember to go slow. Try taking slow, deep breaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewKaren 5 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi guys, I have experienced it a few times but last night was by far the worst. I need to make sure I only take one small bite a minute because I was hurting last night. And it lasted about an hour or so. The thing that really sucks is that I can't even lay down because the food is still sitting so uncomfortably. It's a true learning process, but I am down 48 lbs since my surgery on September 15th :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissayw816 62 Posted November 8, 2014 Yes...I've vomited quite a few times,its when you over eat and the food won't go down..it feels like you have to burp but nothing comes out..so the food is just sitting there until it comes up. With me I keep swallowing to make the food go down. But to no availability the saliva comes right back up with the food. ....I will never learn!

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 8, 2014 I've heard some people buy baby spoons so they have to take smaller bites. I was told by my nutritionist to chew my food slowly and let it dissolve instead of chewing and swallow like I used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
