Has Anyone Else Never Thrown Up?



Recommended Posts

I was told and I was prepared to throw up after VSG. I read on here it happens a lot. I am 7 weeks out and havent vomitted once. I am glad, dont get me wrong but i want to hear there are others who never have. I feel like i eat normally now just smaller sizes so i am not eating just soft and i do feel restriction. It makes me feel like maybe i am doing something wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong if you're not vomiting. You are chewing well, not overeating, and your sleeve is tolerant of the food you eat. I am 14 months out and vomited a few times at your stage when I introduced a new food and my sleeve would not accept it. Salmon made me vomit an entire day, after it was all out, but it irritated my stomach so much I couldn't keep anything down. Be thankful you have a calm sleeve!

My surgery was on 2/13/12 and I've not thrown up since my leak test in the hospital. (I threw up in the hospital 4 times because I was strict NPO and the "gunk" in my throat kept building up and making me hurl.) I've not thrown up since. I also feel like I'm tolerating all food and feel pretty normal when I'm eating, except for the restriction. My book says that if a food does make you throw up, you either ate too much, too fast, too big of bites, didn't chew well enough or are just temporarily not tolerating that particular food at the moment.

I'm thankful to feel so normal so early, but I feel like you- I hope everything is all right and I'm still going to lose weight :s

I agree with what you are saying I felt the same way as I didn't have any problems either and still aren't having any difficulty eating. I am 7 months since my surgery and feel like I am still eating like I had before surgery only in smaller portions. I do find some things don't agree with me as well and give me heartburn but that is the only effect I feel. Keep up the good work.

I only threw up in the hosp. right after surgery. which was probably the anithesia and pain meds for me. I am very sensitive.

The only other time was when I took Vitamins on an empty stomach.. Highly don't recommed it..

I tend to eat fast , bad habit and never gets foamies, slimies or throw up..just lucky I guess..

I've only thrown up once in 7 months. I ate at Carrabas with friends and, not thinking, took a sip of my drink as we were leaving. I'd had bread and a good bit of fried seafood, along with a few bites of Pasta during dinner. By the time I got to the parking lot, I gave my dinner back. I learned a VERY valuable lesson about being super aware of drinking and not letting myself get too full with carb based foods.

Me! I have never thrown up. Since day one in the hospital everything has stayed put :D Now, I've had some nausea here and there, but I've just been very careful and I don't push it. At first I would go slowly and allow my sleeve to adjust. I will say I didn't try anything "different" for me until quite a few months after surgery. For instance, I'm not a fish eater, so I didn't eat any fish after surgery until last week when I tried some of my friends (still don't like lol). I stuck to foods that were simple but I knew that I liked. I was very happy when sleevie liked them too (like slow cooked pork roast).

Treat your sleeve kindly :) We are both lucky enough to have easy-going sleeves! I am definitely thankful for that.

I've never yakked, and the only nausea I've experienced was after eating some low-carb ice cream. Love my sleeve.

7 weeks out today and only threw up once...vitamins on an empty sleeve. I must have a steel bucket of a sleeve because I can eat anything! I get a very clear full signal even though I do still tend to eat fast (bad habit that I really need to break, lol).

Thanks everyone! It feels better to hear from others. I am so glad my sleeve is so tolerant and hope it keeps up. :)

I've not thrown up at all and it's been close to 5 months. Even coming out of surgery and anesthesia (which I normally do). I've not found anything that my stomach doesn't tolerate. No complaints on this topic for me.

I'll be 8 wks out tomorrow and I've also never thrown up. I'm surprised because I haven't always stuck to the plan and I still think I eat too fast.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
