I am normally ok throughout the day, but I can rarely keep dinner down. It almost seems as though my pouch is irritated after having to digest food all day that it just rejects any input. Also it doesn't matter if I eat one bite or five. I am almost 3 months post duodenal switch. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm a sleever, but in my booklet the hospital give to me, they said if vomiting occurs go back to liquids for one day until your stomach settles and then gradually add solids back in.

hope this helps :)

I have found that if I eat just before I retire for the night, the food sits heavy in my stomach. Sometimes I have to get up and vomit. Then I have to stay awake for several hours until my stomach settles down. As a result I have altered my eating habits to never eat before I retire for the night.

Believe it or not it was way worse for about two months. I have had all the tests done and all came back normal. My doctor says that some people's system can take up to a year to adjust.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
