How do you feel the " restriction "??



Recommended Posts

... Today ive vomited for the first time, after one week of the operation..

Eating tuna which I was not suppose..

But the question is: prior to the vomiting I did not feel anything like I just vomited that's it, than the pain started.. I had no signs before vomiting.. Should I ?

You likely vomited today not because of "restriction" but because you ate food your stomach was too injured to handle. Unfortunately, vomiting only assaulted it further. You desperately need to get back on your post op diet and stay there. When you cheat on your post op diet and vomit, you put yourself at risk of very serious complications including ripping the sutures in your stomach.

I agree with Mis73. Getting back to your post op diet is the right thing to do. When you do move up to solids you may notice some fullness. But you shouldn't vomit. If that happens on solids then a call to the doctor may be in order.

We speak of two types of vomiting here. You have two stomachs now. If you are regurgitating from the lower stomach that is vomiting. Your stomach will convulse and force stomach contents up through the small hole called a stoma. Your band is sutured into the lining of your stomach and is still very fragile. So, this type of vomiting is to be avoided at all costs at any time now or later.

If you softly regurgitate food in your pouch or esophagus that's called PBing(productive burp). Neither is good especially when your body is still healing but you'll find it a useful tool after you've healed if you're like many of us.

I definitely had the burp vomit from the upper tube ... The food did not make it in.. But its not a pleasant experience either.. Thank you for your advice .

did you get any signs of it coming at all? It might be something as simple as feeling a little heavy in the chest. If you really didn't feel anything at all, you're going to have to make sure you stick rigidly to the post-op diet and portions, because it would be too easy to get to that point again if you don't have any 'soft stop' that you are aware of.

well said and i agree with this comment 100%

just listen to your doctor and the instructions they give you after surgery..being hungry and (eating) is not worth seriously damaging your newly sewn up insides.....need to get focused on the true goal here, better health...and to accomplish that, a patients compliance with the rules/instructions is key.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
