First time puking



Recommended Posts

Well, I finally made stupid choices and ended up with stupid results.

Just an FYI, I am officially cleared to eat all the foods.

I went to an Asian restaurant yesterday and ordered my favorite shrimp fish to split with my friend. I managed to forget it was breaded in rice flour, and I didn't even consider that it was deep fried. I also ordered Chinese greens. I ate two shrimp and a few bites of greens. I was feeling panicked and full and like I couldn't breathe. I took 3 sips of Water (something I've absolutely not done since surgery) and immediately headed to the restroom. I threw up before I could even get the door locked. Uuuuugh. I went back to the table, but I had to immediately get up again and throw up again. I decide to try eating another shrimp with most of the breading knocked off. Nope. It came up, too. Great job, genius! I then had a 6 hour car ride home, my guts screaming and groaning, unable to so much as sip water without further angering my guts. It was pretty miserable. I got home, drank some broth, and listened to my guts further gripe and groan. All I could think about was my total Protein intake of 0 for the day and how my long, beautiful hair is going to fall out.

Lessons learned: Don't eat friend food. And sure as hell don't eat carbs!!!! I won't be experimenting like that again for a very, very long time. Just because you're cleared to eat anything doesn't mean you can eat anything...

Oh but we all try it!! No one can tell you what it feels like until you have been there done that!! LOL It is funny how we go along fine and then we eat something and it happens again. I can eat something this time and be fine and then try the same thing later and NOPE we are NOT fine. It hurts like HELL when we throw up. You can chalk this up to learning our pouch's!! They can be very touchy. Sorry this happened.

Yeah, with the DS your best bet is to stay away from anything fried, sweet, and too fatty.

And @@rolosmom7, I've never thrown up since surgery 2+ years ago. Yes, I'm rubbing it in. ;)

I have only thrown up twice and for me both times were caused by over eating.

I am now two + years post op and recently had a few moderate episodes of dumping syndrome. I am so thankful that i never had a full blown episode.

I did something stupid. I was hungry late at night and had a simple bowl of product 19 chocolaty delight Cereal with lactose free mile. First, the cold milk make my stomach hurt, within 10 minutes i got sweaty and the worst part of all of it was my heart started to pound like crazy and did not stop for about a good hour.

Think i learned my lesson? NOOOOOO because there was still a whole box of Cereal left, I forgot about that reaction and thought i could have a bowl for dinner given i had met my Protein goal for the day.

Same darn thing happened only worse because i ate a fuller portion of it.

That is when it hit me that i was having an episode of dumping. The next day, I threw the box of cereal in the garbage. Wont be doing that again anytime soon.

I just never thought i would get it given i am over two years post op and had never experienced it but it definately was dumping syndrome.

I didn't say not have fat. I said don't have anything TOO fatty, like deep fried stuff. I totally agree with you. Good fats are good for us.

Sorry you had to go through this. Thankfully, I'll be a distant memory in a year or two when you're eating everything. :)

Consider trying it again in a few weeks. That's what my DS practice recommends. Sometimes it wasn't good other times it went down well. If it still isn't good, I'd wait another couple of weeks and try it again.

I have learned that whole milk and most cereals will cause me to throw up. I have no problem with 2% milk but whole milk will have me sick for 1/2 a day. Most cereals will also cause me to have the dumping syndrome. oatmeal and cream of wheat are fine. Just have to learn the hard way what you can and can not eat.

Shrimp in general had that impact on me early out, I learned to try all new foods at home first LOL

      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
