What Did I Just Throw Up?



Recommended Posts

Ok, maybe this is tmi but I am really concerned and hope you can help. This morning I woke up with the sudden urge to throw up. I got out of bed and ran to the restroom. I threw up what looked like bits of raisins. Small and black in color. Last night I had some Water before bed and dinner I had some plain yogurt. I had nothing with color. I feel okay now, but it was ugly and kind of scary. Any thoughts??? BTW... I'm six weeks post op if that helps.

It sounds dark and grainy but it could just be the way it shows in my mind. It may be blood. I would just call the doc and run it by them for peace of mind.

Blood??? But yes dark and grainy describes it. But this late out? Did I do something? My docs office is closed now and won't be open till Monday? But I guess I'll see if it happens again and I'll leave a message with his answering service. I just hope that was the first and last time.

Do they not have an after hours number? I would try to get a hold of someone tonight!

Not to try to scare you but you should seek to se a doctor today! Any fever, chills or anything out of the ordinary aside from the "raisins"?

There should always be a doctor on call. It may not be your surgeon but someone. I think you should call for sure. Vomiting that color is a concern with or without a sleeve. Hope it turns out to be nothing, but you can't be too careful.

ok, so it was old blood. Possibly the scabbing from the inside of my tummy from the incision. That was scary. Thanks all for the concern. I did call and describe what it was and this is what i was told. But was also told if it happened again to call and it hasnt.

      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! 😞

      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.
