Does everyone do this



Recommended Posts

No matter what I eat or how good I chew I am throwing up at least once a day. I'm almost three months out and have tried to slow it down. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I should be concerned with a stricture. I have no problem drinking but am so sick of getting sick. I'm scared I'm going to choke.

See your doctor immediately. According to my dr you shouldn't throw up daily

Yesterday was my 3rd month anniversary from RNY and I have never thrown up. I agree, you need to see your surgeon, soon.

Best of luck,

Carol

I'm 6 weeks out and haven't thrown up, but have had a lot of issues with nausea.

But at 3 months out, if you're eating what's on your ok'd plan, you shouldn't be throwing up.

I am almost nine months post-op. I may throw up a couple of times a month, usually after trying to eat a dry meat.< /p>

I would call your doctor, it def sounds like a structure however my office said liquids would also become an issue. I would communicate with them what's happening sooner rather then later & just have them take a look.

I am 3 months & have only vomited a couple times & it was all because of dry/stringy foods getting stuck. And it def wasn't every time I ate solids.

I am 9 weeks out, and do occasionally throw up. (I threw up part of my dinner tonight, actually!). It's always when I eat too fast, don't chew dry meat well enough, or eat too much, so it's just a matter of training myself a bit better, I think. When I do get sick, I go back to soft foods for a day, so my pouch can calm down - that seems to help.

I didn't start puking until I started more solid foods. I'm less than two months post op. It seems when I eat too much or more so, too fast, I puke. And, if I'm at work and don't eat, I dry heave. I'm not liking it at all.

I get so sick of feeling yucky all the time. Lately it seems I have this emptiness in my stomach and sometimes eating or drinking doesn't help. My stomach always feels off and makes lots of noise. That's gonna be embarrassing at meetings and a training. It's all the time gurgling and feeling terrible. Nothing seems to relieve it. I spoke to the docs office about me throwing up and then having this terrible feeling in my stomach all the time. I was not very comforted to hear that this is normal and for some it goes away and for others it has just become apart of life. Uggghh maybe if I wasn't stalled for the last 3 weeks I'd see it as worth it but as of now...I'm seeming to be having a hard time not regretting this surgery. I don't think my body is happy. :(

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
