Vomit after drinking and eating



Recommended Posts

I’m not sure what’ I’m doing wrong. I’m 12 days post op. I was told to s art and increase my foods, I start purées soon and to add a scrambled egg. So I did, I got maybe 1/4 of it eaten, then within 5 minutes, it all came back up. It’s been about 5 hours since, I’ve vomited maybe twice more. I thought I woul d have a glass of milk, as I felt fine. Nope, that came back up too. I a, burping constantly. Am I overfull? I’ve only had 1/2 Protein Shake, about 30 oz of Water, 1/4 egg and 2 sips of milk all day. Does this mean I’m not ready for that type of food?

Are you taking a good half hour to eat,? laying down your spoon between bites?, and they should not be bigger than a dime. You never can bolt down food like you once did. Pretend you are at the Dolls Tea Party. What still works for me is the 2oz cup of Fluid every 15 minutes, that makes 8 oz in a hour. If you keep up for the 8 or so hours you are awake you will have fluid enough (64oz). I still. often will even do my Protein Shakes in that manner. Your tummy may not want the solidness of eggs, you can step back down to liquids, clear and murky Soups, thin puree, see if that will stay down better. If you continue doing this you should bring your bariatric team into the loop. You could end up like me , 8 months out, still battling a strictured stoma to my pouch and multiple ulcers in my jejunem, the part of small intestine my pouch is supposed to empty into. And I still vomit,3 times this week, tried to introduce some tender ground chicken, Precious Pouch would have none of that so up it came. The next was trying to drink,instead of ladylike sips, and the 3rd? Don't really know why it happened just that it did. I still have pain over the location frequently. But I realize for me, it is what it is, and might as well accept and still move forward with peace and 😂 joy.

Good chance the egg just made you sick. Take it easy for a day and try eggs in a few week maybe. Eggs always make me feel sick still.

I couldn't eat eggs at the beginning - I can now. Maybe just give them a miss for a while and try again later once you've healed up.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
