Do you find that vomiting has become part of your post VSG life?



Recommended Posts

I vomit here and there. I experience nausea a lot too. I ate egg salad too fast once and had to throw up bc it got stuck- that was gross! I am a coffee drinker and I probably shouldn't be, I'm relating a lot of my nausea to an hour after coffee.....I'm thinking it's causing gastritis. I just love it though. Damn.

If I'm not paying attention to what my body is saying and eat too much or too fast I WILL feel a huge pressure and a stuck feeling and the food ends up coming out.

Make sure to eat slowly and listen to your body..

No, in my opinion throwing up is not something you should expect....In fact if you find yourself throwing up that's your body telling you you're doing something wrong....either eating too fast, too much, or the wrong thing....

I had surgery on May 16, 2016 and vomited once early on because I ate a little too fast and ended up eating one bite too much when I moved to solid food.....early on it was hard for me to know I was full....I learned that by eating slower it gave my stomach and brain long enough to communicate with each other. Now, throwing up is certainly not apart of my post surgery life!

I also can tolerate any food....I haven't found anything that disagrees with me.....which in some respects is sad...haha I was sort of hoping I wouldn't like sweets and breads anymore...haha But I've met my goal weight and so far maintaining is going great.....Without a doubt it will be something I'll have to stay on top of for the rest of my life, but this surgery has given me a tool that will help me through!

Good luck to you!!

Oh great. I have the lapband and what everyone's describing sounds just like how getting stuck feels and sliming with my band I hate. Are any of you band to sleeve conversions? Is it the same?

6 weeks out. No puking, but I really pay attention to my sleeve when I'm eating and stop when it says "stop!"

I've thrown up a number of times. What I've learned is to eat very slowly and chew very thoroughly. I make a sensible plate that fits within the nut's guidelines and sit down with it. I first eat a tiny amount that is chewed very well. I then wait until my stomach relaxes and slowly eat the rest. This helps me get in the Protein and calories.

FWIW I've only thrown up once, and I had a stomach bug.

Day 12 and no vomit or nausea ....TIL today. Suddenly my Bariatric Advantage Vitamins made me gag. I have been taking them for a week or so, they were the best tasting thing on earth (since I hadn't had food) when I started taking them. Today, UGH!!!! I had that watery feeling out of my mouth. Don't even feel like having Protein shake now because still feeling quesy. I just ate 1/2 portion of the Health Wise Protein Jello. Who knew you can hate things later on. I know not that long, but I hope I don't feel like this having to take those tomorrow. I don't even want to think about having to take them. :wacko:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
