Does it feel different to puke after the sleeve? The reason i ask is i am a puker in general so i just wonder about this. Is it the same or different ?

Well for me the answer is YES it is different. I do not puke from my stomach but from my chest. It is sooooo weird. I am 3 1/2 months out and it is still the same. Not sure why but I am not a through or upper...but when I do it is sooooo much easier. Just thought I would add my two cents...good luck with that!

I puke almost every other day. I'm 32 days out, but you would think that there wasn't much in that little stomach. To me it doesn't feel any different. I am worried that I will develop on bad habit (over eating) to another one (puking). Hope it past soon. Spoke to my surgeon who backed me up to liquids for a few days to give my throat a rest. Haven;t puked in 2 days, so maybe its passing.

Well when I puked it DID feel the same as pre op. The awful nausea wave and up it came... It only happened once though. Don't get confused between real nausea and vomiting vs. eating too much and sliming and puking. That is a difference and that only happened to me when I was banded. I learned how to eat properly while banded and haven't had any of these issues post sleeve.

Have to agree with Irene -- puking does feel the same (nausea wave, then vomit) -- but overeating and then puking is completely different -- the food is still in your esophagus sometimes and it can hurt in a completely different way. I learned probably during my 1st couple of weeks, after a couple of bouts of overeating vomiting, what my "stop point" was (wave of nausea and then a hiccup) -- and then I don't eat anymore -- it's important to know where your stop point is because then you will be vomiting from overeating all the time.

I get really bad Migraines, and with them the whole nausea vomiting thing. That is completely different than over eating vomiting thing. Like Irene said, when you over eat, it sits like a brick in your throat until you kind of like burp it up with lots of saliva. At least that is how it works in my body. I haven't done it since I had my band removed and my sleeve done, kind of learned from experience. Do not like it and do not want to ever do it AGAIN!!!

I am 4 months out and have yet to experience a stomach bug or anything like that, thank God I have healthy kids! We just pass around runny noses! We have really bad allergies, which cause a whole other issue when eating!

Hope this helps!

I am knocking with you, I haven't puked yet either. Once I tried to drink too soon after eating and it basically never made it all the way down - I don't consider that puking, it was almost like spitting it out, ie. like it never even left my mouth. That was about 1 month out, and I have never had it again.

Admitted, I am not a puker (btw, LOL at "through or upper" - I had to read that 5 times before I understood it was supposed to be "thrower upper" as in throw up) and I am "Vomit free since 93" or something like that :-)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
