Frankensleeve: Attention! We are about to vomit!!

Erin: Frankensleeve, don't be stupid. We don't have any food in you. All we had for dinner was yogurt and that was hours ago!

Frankensleeve: I don't care! We are about to vomit! You can't tell me what to do.

Erin: Frankensleeve, just calm down.

Frankensleeve: No!! Here it comes....

[Erin vomiting VIOLENTLY]

Erin: What the f*$#, Frankensleeve?! We didn't even have anything in there. You just made me spend 30 minutes violently throwing up clear liquid and bubbles! And now I have petechial bruising around my eyes from heaving so much. You a#*hole!

Frankensleeve: Enjoy the post-vomit nausea, b(*$#!

What was Frankensleeve's problem? Has anyone else randomly vomited on an empty stomach? Did you ever figure out why? If so, please share so I can avoid ever doing that again. Afterward, I was (barely) able to keep an anti-nausea pill down. (BTW, I am 4.5 weeks out from being sleeved and everything had been going swimmingly until last night when the intense nausea struck suddenly and fiercely.)

So, a few months down the line and I think Frankensleeve and I are finally coming to an understanding. I don't know EXACTLY what his deal was that night, but in general he likes to be hydrated and he prefers a little something with carbs during the evening meal to help with stomach acid, like a saltine or two.

Something else Frankensleeve has taught me: I should NEVER take any kind of pill (no matter how small, no matter what it is) without eating something BEFORE I take it. Taking a pill and then eating immediately is bad. Taking a pill without eating anything is worse. If I try either of these things, he slimes up a storm and I always end up throwing up. I can't really remember, but that could've been what happened that night if I was still on nausea pills and trying to take them with as little as I was eating at the time.

Frankensleeve's best friend until I learned these lessons was Han Solo - my red plastic "barf cup." Every once in a while they still get together and party.
