Do you still vomit a year after surgery



Recommended Posts

youre a year or more out from surgery and throwing up multiple times or at all even? You need to see your surgeon. No its definitely not normal.

Well actually when I feel like something is going to make me sick I make myself throw up. Is that normal?

No. That's the beginning of an eating disorder. And I say that with concern. I am three and a half years out and I still throw up once or twice a week. There is really no rhyme or reason, it just happens. I don't MAKE it happen, though, no matter how badly I want it to at times. I could and it would be a relief, but I am afraid that it would trigger the desire to do something every time I am uncomfortable instead of figuring out the root of the problem.

You need to figure out the root of the problem. Mine is usually one bite too many, or one bite not chewed well enough. I don't tolerate rice, Pasta or potatoes, but I try once in awhile for no good reason. I also don't tolerate plain Water at times and I occasionally I try to chug it anyways which is stupid. I keep hoping but...

Talk to your surgeon and possibly a counselor. Don't make throwing up a habit.

I still throw up like 2 to 3 times a day

No. That is not normal. Please talk to your surgeon about this.

Is there a physical reason (eating too much, too fast, taking too large bites, not chewing thoroughly enough) or is it habit?

This sounds like it could be bulimia. Please, talk to your surgeon.

I just feel full really quick and I feel something and I just have to go to the bathroom stick my finger in my mouth and I feel better after. It only happens when I eat hot foods really.

Sounds like you're eating too fast. Room temperature to warm foods would clearly be ideal as well.

      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.
