I’m going to tell the doctor ASAP, but I’ve thrown up like five times this week and wretched a lot (I have my period). Have I done damage to my pouch? Freaking out!
Yes please call your doctor. My doctor prescribed nausea pills for me and they really helped me control the nausea.

I doubt throwing up will damage your pouch, but why are you throwing up? How far post-op are you? Is it nausea? food? Foamies?

I think most people throw up a lot after surgery and that doesn't seem to damage their pouches. I hope your doctor figures everything out!

Yeah I’m on them :/ did your doc say you could have done damage
No there was no damage to my pouch. And I'm almost 6 weeks out and food is going down well. I havent had any more throwing up spells.

I’m pretty sure it’s food! It can happen when I eat very slowly and with foods that I’ve had no probs with. However, it’s always after eating! I just don’t know what could be causing it!

Yeah! I called today. They told me they think my bites are too big and want me to use a baby spoon. If that doesn’t work I will go in!

Yeah, I have been told once I start food I have to have half a teaspoon and chew 20 times, then wait to a count of 20 then have the next half a teaspoon mouthful and so on because of vomiting and giving the pouch time to move out the first mouthful. I know we all get told slightly different things though. :) Hope it is an easy fix

      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.
