I don't still vomit because I never have. But, I also don't eat fried foods. Maybe you vomited because the plantains were fried/greasy? Does it happen often? Have you talked with your NUT?

@@Sexy Granny - when was your surgery?

If "fried" is the common variable, with vomiting, maybe you should find other foods to eat....

I am almost 27 months out and for pretty much my entire second year after surgery I barfed a few times a week. I rarely barfed the first 12 months, puked my way through year two, and now I have pretty much figured out what I can eat and what I can't. My stomach doesn't like anything that has been anywhere near oil, eggs of any variety, fish, the sugar in fruit and sometimes randomly sugar in other things, anything fried, and periodically weird things like milk. Also, I really had to break myself of eating too quickly because that always results in a barf. To solve the problem when I go out to dinner I order something fairly boring, I nibble on it, and I'm usually fine. Otherwise I just mostly cook my own food at home so I can make sure it doesn't have anything my stomach doesn't like in it. The last 2 months or so I'm down to only a few pukes a week which is way better than a few pukes a day.

As a note, what made you barf would still make me barf today if I tried to eat it. Scrambled eggs are something my stomach just hates and fried plantains make me gag a little just thinking about how much my stomach would hate that. So..you're not alone, sometimes we just get stomachs that don't like some foods. I am ok with the things my stomach doesn't like because it prevents me from eating almost everything that is bad for me.

Any time I eat anything fried my pouch Acts up. I thought I could have somethings that I was restricted from starting at the beginning.

Then stop eating anything fried?

Fried food isn't good for you anyway.

I agree with everyone else. It appears fried foods are no longer an option for you.

I got it . so please make suggestions on foods that 1 yr out eat? thx for the advice

Lean Protein, non-starchy vegetables, Soups, salads, limited fruits, dairy, nuts, etc. Basically it's a low-carb diet. Avoid fried food.

Sorry, Granny. I eat pretty much everything. I'm 15+ months post-op.

I also have never thrown up post-op.

I do eat pretty slowly and chew really, really well. That might be a cause of your problem ... ?

I throw up if I eat too much or too fast. I'm about 10 months out.

It's hard but one learns to avoid doing it eventually. Throwing up sucks.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
