14 months out and vomited for the first time ????



Recommended Posts

Well, I can no longer say I've never vomited after WLS. I got home yesterday after an 11 hour work day and I made up a small bowl of cottage cheese and peaches. This was just my "appetizer" as I planned to fix a decent dinner after feeding the dogs and horses. I had taken one bite when the phone rang with an emergency call (horse colic). Well I knew it would be a long visit and I wouldn't get a chance to eat again for several hours, so I shoveled in four big spoonfuls as I went to put on some long underwear (it was about 15 degrees and it had already started to snow). I knew I was in trouble when I felt a sharp pain at the bottom of my rib cage. Then the wave of nausea hit and I just made it to the bathroom. Yuck!

Guess you're never too far along in your VSG journey to learn knew tricks! Next time I'll just put the cottage cheese back in the fridge and slowly nibble on a Protein Bar in the truck on the way out. Oh yeah, and I didn't bother to eat when I finally did get home. Just sipped some camomile tea before finally getting to bed about 3am.

I still throw up at times. Sometimes it is just my stomach saying oh no you don't!!!!!!!!!!! Your not handling food today.....

It happens so fast sometimes too. No warning at all...... Slimming is awful as well. Hate that one!

I always have a tea after and it seems to settle my stomach......somewhat! :)

I was happy to make it to 6 months without throwing up. Will be thrilled if I make it to 14 months!

Sorry you had to learn that lesson the hard way!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
