NEVER had this happen before and did not have a recent fill. Has this ever happened before to anyone, and/or why do you think it happened?

Last night went out to eat. Ordered a burger and a side of broccoli. Could not have had more than 2 bites of each (thought I chewed well enough - thought wrong, I guess) and became very uncomfortable. Went to the bathroom and just wanted to puke. Finally "slimed", but it wasn't over! I was more than 2 hours from home and had to have someone else drive. I puked at least 5 or 6 more times on the way home into a plastic bag. :smile2: Most was liquid (sorry for the graphic description) with very few solid chunks in there. This "pain" and wanting to puke feeling went on for nearly two hours. What the hell did I do to myself? I feel fine today but am afraid to eat. :thumbup:

Ouch!

Sounds like you were "stuck". You may want to stick to liquids or pureed foods today to give your tummy a rest because it's probably swollen from yesterday.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

I've had that problem too. I believe that I blocked the the stoma opening. Either with a piece of food or with bread or potatoes. Then of course the slyming begins with no where to go but up and out. What a pain it can be. I usually give myself a break and have a instant breakfast for the next day to start and very little portions to see what the stomach handles.:thumbup:

Thanks, I was very freaked out and thought I did something really bad! Talked to someone at work today with the band, and she says this happens to her somewhat often. I could not imagine that! 2 hours of sheer H-E-double-hockey-sticks!:thumbup:

It's been happening to me for the last week. Very frustrating. I forget to go back on liquids the next day so I think I may be irritating my band and then at dinnertime, I vomit again... but am fine during the day. Just did it tonight, so I guess I need to make a better effort to do liquids tomorrow!

Good luck, it's still a learning curve, at least for me and I've had my band for over a year.
