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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
