I was thirsty after a long day of moving furniture into my new place (thankfully, the delivery people did most of the work, but I had some "fine tuning" to do - sliding furniture so I'm not lifting. Anyway, I was rather thirsty, so I get out my trusty bottle of water and take a drink - like I would have a month ago - just chugging away. Suddenly, my sleeve said "whoa - wait a minute!" Nice tight feeling in the chest, breaking out into another sweat, I stop chugging and wait for the feeling to go away. It doesn't until I go to the bathroom and throw up. It was just water that came back up, but still. Now I feel much better of course. Although I'm sure my sleeve is still upset with me. Lesson learned - I MUST SIP no matter how thirsty I am.

YIKES!! owwwyy

That has happened to me several times. Thankfully not computing but have stretch and breath through the pain. I am just glad I feel well enough that u forget u had the surgery and must sip!!! Lol....

At almost 8 months out I still take normal sized drinks... then have to hold them in my mouth and swallow about a third at a time... sometimes someone wants to talk to me and i have a mouth full of water!

I so know how that feels luckily enough I haven't thrown up! thanks for the reminder! sip sip sip repeat

It's the first time since surgery I have thrown up. Hopefully it won't happen again.

Ouch.....I so wanted to do that yesterday after my bike ride, but I didn't. So glad, I don't like vomiting.

Glad you got moved in and feeling well.

Still unpacking and still need to get a couple of things, but I'm not going to "push myself" to hard. My muscles ache today, so I'm resting more than unpacking. I know it's because I'm not used to being active, but I don't want to injure myself either by doing too much too quickly.
