I'm 7 weeks out is it okay? I mean I know it's not but I know it wasnt okay in the begining. Also I think it was caused by me not chewing it too good because it came out almost the way it was at first. Lol

I threw up for my 1st time at 7 weeks! Not sure why, maybe over ate? Mine was just mucous. No chunks of food. Was really weird. I got really bad indigestion. So I started taking medicine for it and it hasn't happened again.

I had a real problem with this during for first few months, and actually still do from time to time. If I have something stuck I have to get it back up. The feeling of the stuck food is terrible. It was the same for me, I ate too big a bite of food and the food would not fit through the stoma to enter the stomach. Yes I am "throwing it up" but it never really entered my pouch so it is a little different. For me, I have to get the food back up, it is the only way I feel better. It doesn't happen very often, but it is something I think we will deal with for a long time.

Best of luck!

I puked my guts out the entire 3 days I was in the hospital after sleeve surgery. Yacking, dry heaves of misery. My sleeve did not suffer any damage from it, so I'd say you're fine at 7 weeks. I am 15 months out and periodically I still puke when I eat something my sleeve doesn't like. cheese and dry chicken tend to be instant barfing for me, so I try to avoid them. After plastics I had to wear a compression garment and I felt like I was throwing up every day. Did wonders for my weight, lol.

Good luck to you! :)

      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.
