Just looking for some feedback from anyone that might have had a similar situation. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and have been vomiting several times a day after eating for several weeks. I also vomit after exercise or even just from walking up the stairs. At the same time, I have pretty bad pain under my left rib cage after I eat (regardless of whether or not I vomit) that lasts for a few hours. This is usually the case only if I eat solids and not if I eat Soup or liquids. When I first found out I was pregnant I had .5 cc removed. Today I had the rest taken out when I went to go see my surgeon and explained what has been going on. He is concerned that I might have a slippage and told me to try things without Fluid and if the vomiting doesn't stop, I will need an upper GI. I am confused because I just assumed this was a pregnancy issue. I don't have any other GI symptoms but for the vomiting and pain, a little heartburn here and there, but again, I think that is pregnancy related. Even though I can wear a lead apron for the x-ray, I am apprehensive to get the x-ray if this could all just be pregnancy related. But if it is a slip, he will need to do surgery now in the second trimester before it gets to late. So, I guess my question is, has anyone had similar symptoms, mainly vomiting only with solids and pain, that ended up being a slippage or do you usually experience more symptoms with a slippage than what I am describing. Thanks in advance!

My pregnancies are long done.

My 1st, I had really bad morning sickness, bad-bad all day.

I put a box of Saltine crackers next to my bed and ate a few before I got up, sometimes laying down as I couldn't pick up my head off the pillow without running to the bathroom. Put them in my mouth and let them 'melt' then swallowed a little at a time. It really helped. It was the ONLY thing that helped. It was long before WLS but I could hardly get them in, even then.

This is an old home-remedy.

Now, I know carbs are considered evil- both dieting and with WLS... BUT... if you eat a couple crackers a day, it's not going to kill you nor make you gain to obesity nor prevent weightloss outcome.

I kept a few in my purse in a zip bag, just in case. There's always that feeling of nausea before vomiting and as soon as I felt it- IN went a cracker bite or few.

This really did help me. I hope it helps you. Worth a try before fluoroscopy, X-rays, or surgery under anesthesia that could have mal-affect on the baby.

SALTINES- not Ritz or any of those flavored or buttery kinds. Just bland, old mainstay- Saltines. I kept them next to my bed for about 4-5 months.

Please let me know if it helps you. I hope it does.

*FYI: My 2nd pregnancy: no morning sickness @ all. Just so you know, it's not straight across the board with pregnancies. Both of my babies had head-full of hair. That's not the cause. Don't know what is... but it's not that though a lot of women told me it probably was.... women will tell you lots of things. Listen to about 1/2 of what you hear.
