I never threw up. I was worried about that in the beginning, but I was lucky and never had any problem. I am four months out so I think I am in the clear.

Yes! Was sleeved last November and it happens to me a lot and it's not a pleasant experience. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what causes it so I can avoid it happening again. Sometimes it's eating too fast, other times it's the consistency of the food.

I had to switch to Patch MD. I was fine and actually loving the sort of baby aspirin taste, and one day gagged. I tried the next day, no way. Switched to patch, my dr approves of them, saved me.

I have vomited a few times since my surgery.. it was all due to drinking or eating too fast :( or if I drank Water too soon after eating.. its still a learning phase for me. but ive got it pretty much under control now :) good luck to u :)

Hi for me it was very regular for 1st 2 months then stopped for a few weeks then started up again. meat is not my friend plus I am still eating to fast which I think is the main cause. I hope it does settle soon.

I know I eat too fast and too much. Now that I threw up, I'm so slowing down.

Glad to hear it's getting better. I'm 4.5 months out and luckily have not had to vomit at all. I was nauseous right after from the anesthesia but I didn't throw up. I do get slimies from time to time but if I get up and move it usually helps it pass.

Haven't yet, but came close twice. Once was falling into old habits and talking at dinner and not paying attention to my pace. Another time was just eating some chicken, felt full and stopped, and then 10 minutes later out of nowhere I was running for the bathroom. Luckily I kept it down. So far chicken is my biggest foe.

I don't vomit, I just bring the food black up and spit it out. This happens now on a weekly basis, makes me feel much better. I do it instead of feeling miserable after overeating.

Maybe it's not right to do? I don't know. But I sure feel good afterwards.

MAYBE it's not right to do?

That's called bulimia. How about just not overeating by measuring your food?

You can't rely on the surgery forever, because the benefits are really only temporary. You'll be able to eat almost normal portions a couple to a few years out, so learn to make good choices and portion now, or it will equal regain down the road.

I'm just about 3 months out and have found that I have thrown up more than I'd like.

After surgery I was vomiting a lot. Now I've also found if I've eaten too much or too fast I'll vomit. So I'm learning to slow down etc.

But I also find that just about any type of meat makes me vomit no matter how well I chew or how slowly I eat.

I think my sleeve just hates me sometimes but my surgeon doesn't seem concerned. I e spoken with him a few times about it and all the nausea I have each day. So not sure what else to do as he offers no meds to help with nausea. Just tells me to tough it out and it'll get better.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
