I keep reading that people are throwing up after surgery. From what my doctor said that would happen I ate to fast, too much, or drank to much. Is this usually what causes it or does it just happen. I'm a little worried about it. My surgery isn't until next week but still I'm already a little freaked out about what that would do to my stomach.

wannalise,

I just wanted to comment to you that the vitamins have been a major pain for me too. My doctor required liquid vitamins for the first two weeks which made me very nauseas and then gave me the runs. Sorry TMI! But I managed to keep them down. I was so excited after two weeks when I was able to start chewables. The first one I had I chewed and it went down just fine. I thought everything was ok. Not three minutes later it came right back up. Which was the first time I threw up with the sleeve. It was not pleasant and was not how everyone described as crawling back up. It was a full on puke, dry heaves, sweating and all. So after that I tried children's chewables. I know that they aren't optimal but I take two in the morning and two at night and they go down pretty well. I plan on finishing this bottle and seeing if I can't go to regular pills and maybe just cut them in two if they are too large. I know they are necessary but i hate all the supplements. Why do they all have to be so big. HAHA I have the hardest time getting down those citracal pills as well and I buy the petite ones. Oh well I guess I will just have to get used to them.

Thanks for the vitamin tip. I had it happen again today. So frustrating! I may go and get the childrens chewables as well. I really wanted a better quality than that but when I am throwing em up anyway I don't know if quality even matters. My throat is raw today and I am super paranoid that having this happen all the time is going to cause problems long term with my esophogus. Anywhoo! Thanks for the tip.
