My first time vomitting today



Recommended Posts

I started eating a boiled egg too fast, kinda forgot about my sleeve. It was embarrassing since I threw up in public. Not to mention acid reflux won't go away, I want the madness to end. It's getting harder to get enough fluids in because of it :(

Any advice please?

3 weeks post op

20 lbs down :)

Sleeve is notorious for acid reflux and most doctors put us on medicine for an amount of time after. Are you on an acid reflux medicine by chance? They may have to change it or up the dosage if you are and they should start one if you aren't.

Was this your first time having a boiled egg? Some things don't sit as well as before. Sorry you threw up :(

Awesome weight loss! :lol:

I threw up for the 1st time on July 4th (vsg 6/11) and it was eggs too! And for the same reason you did-- ate too fast. Ick! Hopefully this is the last time for you. I'm paranoid now--- chew chew chew, slow slow slow. Lol

I'm not on any meds and I eaten eggs before I'm guessing its the acid reflux making it worst. I have my next preop on the 31st I'm hoping I can handle it til then.

One thing that has really helped me eat slowly is using a stopwatch app on my phone- I set it for 5 minutes, and take one bite every 5 minutes. It can get tedious, and my food always gets cold before I finish, but it ensures that I eat very slowly.

I am 9 months out and still throw up periodically....If my nerves are bad, it is like my stomach closes up and won't let me swallow......Tonight was a good example........my friend told me something that got me upset after having a wonderful visit with the team that look after me through this process....Could not eat....

So it can still happen now and then according to what you are trying or stress...But hang in there it gets less and less.......

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
