Throwing up

[tmesley 4]

Would you ever get to a point, not throwing up food? Or is it just at the beginning? 6weeks post op!

If you are throwing up, it's either because you are eating to much, eating to fast, or you do not tolerate the food you are eating. Slow down, eat less, and avoid foods that make you sick.

I'm almost 6 weeks post op and have yet to throw up. I definitely do not eat a lot of food, and to be honest, I'm a little scared to try certain foods (like chicken breast; I'm sticking to shredded chicken). I agree with the above post. Measure and eat slowly!!

I agree with the others I am 9 weeks out and found I have to eat slow and avoid many foods I ate before surgery. Make sure your doctor knows he may want you to have an endoscopy.

I never had a problem throwing up. My doctor had me on anti-nausea medication for the first couple of weeks, so I don't know if that made a difference, but I never had that problem.

Yep, I've thrown up a couple of times as I'm still learning to eat slow and if I don't focus on eating, I forget and eat too fast. I also take papaya enzyme to help with digestion when I feel discomfort or like I'm ready to vomit and it helps.

I am 3 months out. I still throw up when i eat too fast.

Slow down.......and watch what you eat:-)

I've only thrown up about 4 times in 6 months. It's usually the texture of the food or eating too fast, or too big a bite. I found it actually hard to vomit, the stomach doesn't constrict like it used to, post-op, to help push the food up and out (gross, sorry!). At Easter Brunch I ate one bite of eggs Bennedict (never had it before). It wouldn't go down my stomach. (I think it was the English muffin-I haven't had bread yet). I had to literally run across this huge ballroom to get to the ladies room as the food came up on its own (horrible)! (After that, I was afraid to eat solid food again so I had cheesecake for my meal.) That was an expensive Brunch, I can say that!
