Sliming / Throwing Up

[mnmlst 249]

How often do you vomit slime/foam or actual food?

I seem to be averaging 1 - 1.5 x per month. Is that a lot?

Today I did it again, and I didn't even eat that much food. It's really unpleasant.

I never have, but I'm only 7 weeks post-op. Though, I am eating regular foods. I've never been much if a puker though...

Thank you for the topic!

@@Quest4TheNewMe I am only 9 weeks out and it's happened to me 3 times. I am eating normal food and not eating much, and I was never a puker, either. I'm wondering if certain foods just don't agree with me? Your lack of slimes/vomiting makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

That's a bummer! Are you making sure to eat slowly and chew really well? Otherwise, I'd start tracking it to see if you can find some sort of commonality... Specific food? Situation?

Since it isn't happening very often, I wouldn't think it would be due to some sort of medical issue, but of course it never hurts to consult your surgeon.

I did based on certain foods for a good 3-4 months (I'm 7 months out now). I tracked my foods and avoided them for a month or so and then tried again. Some went down fine, some did not and I would try again in a few weeks. From that experience, I only tried new post-op foods at home! Now, it does not really happen with foods. Instead, it happens with my Multivitamin if I do not eat with them. That surprises me because the Vitamins were fine without food those first few months. The body is something else.

Mine is definitely related to how fast I eat! Hasn't happened in about a month as I have figured out to slow down.

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

Never. I eat super slow.

[veronicalynnnnnnn 35]

The more foods I try the more it happens...usually when I've eaten too much or if I drink too close to my eating. It's really just learning your body

I had it a lot in the beginning...not as much lately but still quite a bit. It is definitely related to how fast I eat and if I take that one bite that was one too many. I also have it if I drink liquids too close to my meals...which has been really hard for me!

[truck8595 64]

Definitely was a learning process for me, and I dare say it still is... and it's happened much less the more I have learned over time. I know I'm probably not the only one here that's had to learn the hard way too.

I would say half the time it's happened, it's been because of WHAT I ate, and half the time, because I would eat TOO FAST. At first, it seemed I'd have problems if not once a day, once every other day. It wasn't much fun. Nowadays (at almost a year out), I might overdo it in terms of eating too quickly once a month, or every other month and pay dearly for it... but slowly I have figured it out.

Deep fried foods and sugar are about the only things that still get my tummy in a tizzy. So I tend to avoid them as often as possible (though the rare cheese curd still tastes as great as ever!). Any food can still give me problems if consumed too quickly, though. Still trying to rectify that one.

I have had the slimy and vomiting when I eat or drink fast. My Dr has prescribed Calafate to coat stomach. I was able to try meatloaf today and so far so good.

I'm a fast eater (but workin' on it). Once I went on purees, I got the slimes every few days from certain Proteins like tofu, ground turkey, or tuna. If the slimes were too bad and my sleeve too full, I'd make myself throw up just to get the excess saliva out. It's not at all like throwing up with a regular tummy that's for sure.

Now I overeat and get the slimes maybe once every 2-3 weeks. I don't worry about it. It's a learning process. I weigh all my food to keep my portions honest. I am eating a bit slower or at least chewing more. I do eat very slowly when I eat out because I can only estimate how much I'm eating by how full I feel.

[MichiganChic 3,262]

I have never slimed or thrown up, and I'm 25 months post op.

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

I haven't either. I had that stacking stuck in the esophagus feeling once. Otherwise I've been okay.
