Hi- had my GS on June 2. Now that I have moved to regular food, I am vomiting afterwards. Any suggestions, recommendations, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

According to my NUT - as you start transitioning to solids it's common to have lots of nausea and for foods to simply not sit right and cause you to get sick. She recommended trying only one new food each day because if you try more than one new thing and get sick then you won't know which one made you sick. I dunno if this tip would help either of you but it's been helpful to me :)

eat very slowly and when you are about half way through the portion give it a bit of a rest to make sure you are not full.

have you tried yogurt? That set pretty well for me. I hope it works itself out for you soon. I would get sick when i over ate - and overate sometimes was a 4 tablespoons instead of 3.

hang in there!

My surgery was June 1st. I have not thrown up since transitioning to solid foods but I have come close. I feel like every day I get to know my sleeve better. Somethings go down easy -- others dont. Fish is the easiest -- I never feel nauseous after fish -- crab, salmon, tuna, lobster, scallops -- I can never eat more than 2 oz. but all are easy. chicken is the most difficult. I have not tried beef yet -- but I love it. ground turkey is easy also. If I eat more than 2 oz -- I feel sick......

Thanks you for your replies, I will try all these suggestions. I think that part of my problem sounds like I am over eating and not going slow enough. I will try the one food a day. Of course I want to be successful at this, and it worried me that I am throwing up everything I eat.

Thanks again.

Yes if you don't have a food scale get you one and weigh 2oz of whatever meat you're having.......and eat very slowly. There are times I can't eat all of the 2oz. I had my surgery on 5/16 and the only time I've thrown up is when I took one bite too much.

Good luck to you both......There's a big learning curve for sure.

I had surgery on June 7 and haven't felt like throwing up once. My doc did prescribe anti-nausea meds so it must be common though.

      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.
