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.

I had surgery on June 7 and haven't felt like throwing up once. My doc did prescribe anti-nausea meds so it must be common though.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
