Throwing up

Hi- had my GS on June 2. Now that I have moved to regular food, I am vomiting afterwards. Any suggestions, recommendations, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

According to my NUT - as you start transitioning to solids it's common to have lots of nausea and for foods to simply not sit right and cause you to get sick. She recommended trying only one new food each day because if you try more than one new thing and get sick then you won't know which one made you sick. I dunno if this tip would help either of you but it's been helpful to me :)

eat very slowly and when you are about half way through the portion give it a bit of a rest to make sure you are not full.

have you tried yogurt? That set pretty well for me. I hope it works itself out for you soon. I would get sick when i over ate - and overate sometimes was a 4 tablespoons instead of 3.

hang in there!

My surgery was June 1st. I have not thrown up since transitioning to solid foods but I have come close. I feel like every day I get to know my sleeve better. Somethings go down easy -- others dont. Fish is the easiest -- I never feel nauseous after fish -- crab, salmon, tuna, lobster, scallops -- I can never eat more than 2 oz. but all are easy. chicken is the most difficult. I have not tried beef yet -- but I love it. ground turkey is easy also. If I eat more than 2 oz -- I feel sick......

Thanks you for your replies, I will try all these suggestions. I think that part of my problem sounds like I am over eating and not going slow enough. I will try the one food a day. Of course I want to be successful at this, and it worried me that I am throwing up everything I eat.

Thanks again.

Yes if you don't have a food scale get you one and weigh 2oz of whatever meat you're having.......and eat very slowly. There are times I can't eat all of the 2oz. I had my surgery on 5/16 and the only time I've thrown up is when I took one bite too much.

Good luck to you both......There's a big learning curve for sure.
