Dchonlee 214 Posted June 25, 2024 I literally loathe throwing up, but especially after having 80% of my stomach taken away. I’ve been trying my best to not puke because I didn’t want to go through the cramps and the pain. But surprisingly, throwing up was an extreme relief. I tried to take the Vitamin prescribed by my doctor to just get some energy back but I had applesauce before hand and nothing else and I think the vitamin is a little bit potent. Less than five minutes later I threw up violently. How was your first time puking after the surgery? Why do i feel so much better after throwing up?😂😂😂😂😂 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best thing I found to take it until several months out when I could eat a little more was a Protein Shake. Just be sure to take it AFTER you have consumed the ENTIRE shake. I took it after half and even 2/3 and it came right back up. Also, it’s usually the Iron in the vitamin that causes the issue so some people have to get one without iron and take their iron separate.

catwoman7 11,221 Posted June 25, 2024 I rarely vomit, but I don't dread it like I did pre-surgery. Your stomach is way smaller and doesn't hold that much, plus you don't produce as much acid so it doesn't have that terrible taste, either. However it tasted going down is what it tastes like coming back up. Or at least that's the case with me. 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,442 Posted June 26, 2024 I call it regurgitating not vomiting because it almost comes up on its own with very little muscle spasming. Think it’s because your tummy is the muscle & it’s smaller so less strenuous spasming is needed. Plus being a smaller ‘container’ it takes less to empty it. And no cramps & sore stomach muscle after. That’s a win to me. 2 Tomo and catwoman7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
