Had a Vomiting Incident...

Hi all, I had an incident that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced. I haven't vomited at all since my surgery (7 weeks) but last night I had a chocolate Sundae from Sonic. I couldn't finish it and immediately after eating it, I hurt (I guess I ate too much) then as I was getting ready for bed, it all came back up. Ice cream should go down pretty well, even with possible overeating - I'm wondering if it was all the sugar that my body isn't used to.

Has anyone else had this type of reaction to excessive sugar? A small treat went very wrong... :-(

I'm sorry, I never experience anything like that,and I also had ice cream,but never vomited.It's probably to much sugar for your body.Or maybe you drank it to fast.

When I read your post, I wonder if this wasn't a reaction to the sugar content in the sundae. I was about at your point post surgery (I think) when I got a sugary drink from Starbucks and felt like I'd be sick, but it ultimately passed. I felt cold, my heart raced, I sweated, and felt like I could vomit, but never actually did. You had your surgery with Dr. Ponce like I did. I was so afraid of not following instructions about sweets, but I finally had to have something I remembered being a pleasure to drink. Then I got sick. I've not gone back for one of those again. :) I wonder if that wasn't just your body's response to the sugar?

I've not had the same reaction since. Maybe I eat too much sugar and my body has readjusted what it reacts to.

If there's something you don't feel is right or it continues, check it out with your primary doctor and/or Dr. Ponce. You know your body the best.

Hope all is well.

Two times post surgery I felt really sick after drinking a chocolate Boost. It was just way too sweet for me! I thought the first time was a fluke, but when it happened again I knew. That being said, Mednar is right, if you continue to have strange issues ask your doc. I assumed something was normal for awhile and I am now regretting not getting checked out sooner. It wasn't really surgery related, but still, sooner rather than later would have been better.

Needless to say, I'll be very careful how much sugary treats I eat from now on. Ice cream was the only thing that came back up but other things I've had problems with are rice (I think it just takes too long to digest and makes me feel like I have a lump in my stomach), popcorn (I love it but I can only eat a cup or so), anything whipped (like whipped cream, marshmallows, even the Protein shakes made in a blender) - I think they just have too much air and it sits above my stomach and makes me feel bloated.

I've also experienced the first stall, sort of. I was at the same weight for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden 4.5 pounds came off. It's strange how this happens, I've seen posts from others who've experienced this. Weird.
