Getting sick immediately after eating?



Recommended Posts

I have posted this before, but am now really struggling and need advice/words of wisdom/ANYTHING. I had surgery 7/27 and it truly has been great! I'm down almost 90 pounds woo!

Something i am struggling with so much is what I would call "frothy" vomiting after eating. The best way I can describe it is tightening of my chest, excessive saliva and burping until i eventually have to throw up. I know it is not dumping because i've experienced that (dumping for me is more of a total body experience with sweat, shaking, etc). This does not happen all the time, but mainly after Breakfast. Just today, i ate veggies and chicken for dinner, got sick, tried a banana 3 hours later, got sick, tried a rice cake 2 hours later, got sick. I AM SO FRUSTRATED and it is completely exhausting.

If anyone can relate, please let me know! Any advice would be seriously appreciated.

I get that from eating chicken or anything too dry.

I was sleeved 7/27/16.

Someone mentioned trying Papaya enzyme when it happens. They said that it helps break down the "stuck" food.

I've tried it and it might have helped, but mostly I avoid chicken whenever possible.

For me, when it happened, I tried to not eat solids for the rest of the day. It helped me feel better if I stuck to purée for the rest of the day. I refer to that as my Non Eating Day...

That usually seems to happen with overeating but it may be that certain foods are causing inflammation, which might cause it. You will have to consult your surgeon, but I would start journaling your food choices and the results. See if you can narrow down which foods are routinely causing this reaction. But if you are eating until you're stuffed, that's likely the reason.

You mentioned eating a rice cake...if there is a food more likely to expand like a sponge in your stomach, I can't think of one.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
