How often does everyone throw up?? I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and threw up today 3 times. I tried to eat like 3 chips with mango salsa ( was sitting in the break room and looked really good!) and then twice when I tried saltine with laughing cow tonight. It normally doesn't hurt when I throw up. Sometimes it's because my stomach feels like its stuck and sometimes my mouth waters and it just happens. I never know what will trigger it. One day fish is ok the next it's not. The only think I'm sure is ok it's Soups and shakes. Am I hurting my stomach??? It's never like before my sleeve where my stomach cramps and flips its more like a baby spitting up, just regurgitating, sorry I know gross. But I guess stranger body functions are par for the course now. I just don't want to hurt my body but sometimes I feel bulimic lol.

Every dr. Has a different plan, but I do not think you are supposed to be eating chips 3 1/2 weeks out. You should let the surgeon know about that.

I'll be two weeks out on Tuesday and I've never once thrown up. Knock on wood because vomit is my biggest phobia ever. But yeah chips are greasy and also salsa is spicy and we aren't supposed to be eating greasy/raw/spicy things so soon. My doctors plan will have me just off pureed and onto soft foods at three and a half weeks.

Maybe your progressing onto real foods again to fast? I personally have two weeks of liquids and then 1 week purade and 1 week mushy. I dont think throwing up is normal? But not sure. Hope your tummy settles down and you can find more foods that work for you :)

my advice is just to take it very slowly, pureed & mushies should be fine, its probably more prone to happen when moving on to more solid foods. My first time I had eaten a small piece of watermelon. I figured this was a good choice but omg it hurt so much & then felt like it was stuck. I vomitted and felt much better. I HATE vomitting also but its not like vomitting when you are sick which is very smelly & lots of it. Its just a little bit of food that comes back up & doesnt have that sick smell. Sorry if TMI :/ I think if you eat really slowly & dont try solids too early you should be fine. :)

I'm 3 weeks out have not vomitted. I'm eating puréed foods, creamy Soup, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

If solids aren't agreeing with you, maybe regress to the last foods that sat well?

I'm 3 months out and have thrown up quite a bit. Early on if I took one bite too much I wd throw up. I found out what sliming actually was and really listen too my body very carefully while I'm eating to try to avoid throwing up now. I discovered that I have to put my fork down between bites and just wait a few moments before taking the next bite. Doing this it slows me down and sometimes I actually get a feeling that if I take that extra bite it will put me over the edge. Unfortunately I have no signs like so many people do before l take that extra bite that takes me over my stomach limit so I typically just try to play it safe by eating about 1/2 cup of food and stopping. I have also discovered spicy foods don't agree at all, nor any type of ground beef. My stomach is very finicky. The throwing up has gotten a lot better but hasn't stopped completely.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
