Do you still vomit a year after surgery



Recommended Posts

youre a year or more out from surgery and throwing up multiple times or at all even? You need to see your surgeon. No its definitely not normal.

Well actually when I feel like something is going to make me sick I make myself throw up. Is that normal?

No. That's the beginning of an eating disorder. And I say that with concern. I am three and a half years out and I still throw up once or twice a week. There is really no rhyme or reason, it just happens. I don't MAKE it happen, though, no matter how badly I want it to at times. I could and it would be a relief, but I am afraid that it would trigger the desire to do something every time I am uncomfortable instead of figuring out the root of the problem.

You need to figure out the root of the problem. Mine is usually one bite too many, or one bite not chewed well enough. I don't tolerate rice, Pasta or potatoes, but I try once in awhile for no good reason. I also don't tolerate plain Water at times and I occasionally I try to chug it anyways which is stupid. I keep hoping but...

Talk to your surgeon and possibly a counselor. Don't make throwing up a habit.

I still throw up like 2 to 3 times a day

No. That is not normal. Please talk to your surgeon about this.

Is there a physical reason (eating too much, too fast, taking too large bites, not chewing thoroughly enough) or is it habit?

This sounds like it could be bulimia. Please, talk to your surgeon.

I just feel full really quick and I feel something and I just have to go to the bathroom stick my finger in my mouth and I feel better after. It only happens when I eat hot foods really.

Sounds like you're eating too fast. Room temperature to warm foods would clearly be ideal as well.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
