14 months out and vomited for the first time ????



Recommended Posts

Well, I can no longer say I've never vomited after WLS. I got home yesterday after an 11 hour work day and I made up a small bowl of cottage cheese and peaches. This was just my "appetizer" as I planned to fix a decent dinner after feeding the dogs and horses. I had taken one bite when the phone rang with an emergency call (horse colic). Well I knew it would be a long visit and I wouldn't get a chance to eat again for several hours, so I shoveled in four big spoonfuls as I went to put on some long underwear (it was about 15 degrees and it had already started to snow). I knew I was in trouble when I felt a sharp pain at the bottom of my rib cage. Then the wave of nausea hit and I just made it to the bathroom. Yuck!

Guess you're never too far along in your VSG journey to learn knew tricks! Next time I'll just put the cottage cheese back in the fridge and slowly nibble on a Protein Bar in the truck on the way out. Oh yeah, and I didn't bother to eat when I finally did get home. Just sipped some camomile tea before finally getting to bed about 3am.

I still throw up at times. Sometimes it is just my stomach saying oh no you don't!!!!!!!!!!! Your not handling food today.....

It happens so fast sometimes too. No warning at all...... Slimming is awful as well. Hate that one!

I always have a tea after and it seems to settle my stomach......somewhat! :)

I was happy to make it to 6 months without throwing up. Will be thrilled if I make it to 14 months!

Sorry you had to learn that lesson the hard way!

      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.
