I am almost 3 months out and I do throw up occasionally. Dry or greasy foods.

I'm 7 weeks out today and on all normal foods with no Protein supplements. I have thrown up twice to date and in both cases I had eaten too much. I am learning to listen to my sleeve and at the first feeling of fullness I stop. I used to take another forkful (as I always did in my previous life) and I always feel over-full, stuffed or nauseous. By stopping in time I don't feel anything other than satisfied. So, in my opinion throwing up is a result of eating too much!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND FRUSTRATION! I am 7 months out, I still throw up once or twice a week from food, and maybe once or twice a week from Water (boo). I'm soooo sick of barfing. Ugh. Also sick of round the clock burping, gurgling, and tooting (yes. that's right, constant). I don't even know what I am eating that is giving me this crazy gas, but it sounds like I swallowed an old, creaky pirate ship that's sailing the high seas. Yes, it sounds like there is a wooden yacht of some sort sailing around my tummy with all that dang creaking.

I know (I'm 100% sure) that my food coming back up is due to eating too fast and taking bites that are too big. Look, the way I see it, it took me 30 years to build up these terrible eating habits, and it is going to take a long time to completely change the way I ingest food after all these decades! I have found that I can eat almost anything, if I take it slowly enough. Then again, bread, Pasta, and tomato-sauced foods just do not agree with me anymore. This half- Italian girl from NJ is crying inside.

I have found that no matter what I try at a restaurant, I throw up. I don't know if it is the added fat/sugar/salt, or the fact that it is greasier than home-cooked, or simply that eating at a restaurant is still "new" to me and I can't focus on eating slowly- it might be all of those things. However, I'd rather not eat out than get sick again in a public bathroom. Again, ugh.

Water- esp. cold water- is still very difficult to keep down unless I take tiny, controlled sips. It is still hard not to chug Water, esp. during exercise. I can pretty much guarantee if i sip water too quickly, it will "come out through the in door." I am trying to give you some honest feedback. The vomiting has been the most frustrating part of this experience, hands down. It has led me to be a lot more careful (even though I was already being extremely careful!). It has gotten much, much better over the months. I'm hoping it eventually resolves completely as my new choices become "habits".

I was having these issues (almost 3 months out) and my doctor did an endoscopy. No stricture but an ulcer. On new meds that seem to be helping but it's so frustrating to be one step forward and two steps back. Hope all is well with you!

I hope you've seen your doctor to rule out any serious problems! You shouldn't be having so much trouble keeping food down at this stage when you are following the rules. The only time I get sick is if I eat too fast or eat something that is too dry.

I am 2 months out and was throwing up constantly (not even eating solid foods). My doctor did a lot of tests and it turns out I have ulcers so they have me on medication to heal them now. Also, taking a protonic daily helps.

Sorry to hear about this. I'll be 2months next week . I haven't thrown up I get nauseous my Dr sent me to hospital last week for iv's but that's been my only really hiccup so far. Have a friend who had surgery almost 6 yrs ago. They developed a ulcer about 4 weeks after their surgery. They had a very ruff time cause they ended up with a pic line to feed them for about 2 weeks .. Be very careful the ulcer they can set you back very quickly. Are you able to eat or drink anything with out pain??

You need to see your doctor ASAP!! At 7 weeks out from my RNY I started having major problems like this and it turned out I had a stricture. I ended up in emergency surgery because it was 97% closed and they perforated it trying to stretch it out. The sooner they catch it the better.

      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.
