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

Seems that for the first year, as you try different foods, you tend to discover that your new stomach simply rejects foods that you used to eat regularly. Is this common for most of you?

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.




Hi

I was like you and though it would never end. I didn't over eat but maybe ate a bit fast. Drs didn't seem bothered at all. Now 6 months out and it has finally settled down about 1 month ago. If I forget and eat to fast I do still feel ill but seem to be able to keep it down. Hope it starts to settle for you soon. Xx

Thank you. Glad it finally settled down for you.

8 weeks out, no nausea or vomiting, nothing seems to bother my stomach. Sometimes I wonder if I had a sleeve done at all but since I get full fast it is a reminder that I did have it done

I'm only two months out but I have thrown up two times. Both were due to an iron supplement and I just vomited it back up.

I'm six weeks out and have not vomited even once, not even when I ate things I really shouldn't have. Which is good because I have emetophobia and get a panic attack every time I puke lmao.

It's luck of the draw, from what I understand.

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?

I


I had a lap band and have no problems with vomiting or getting food stuck... but then again I am still on liquid... I can bend and move better into certain positions and don't feel like it gets stuck any more when I move.. like I use to .. Sometimes I would feel the band get twisted or prevent me from bending

I vomit a lot. Not fun at all. I get a lot of foamies too. My stomach is very sensitive to food and anything can set it off. Doesn't always have to do with eating fast for me. Literally can't eat eggs, cherries or the flavor and the list goes on


I am 13 weeks out and have never been nauseous or vomited, nor do I have reflux or heartburn. We are all different and I count myself lucky. I can Eat ust about anything. Good luck

Everytime I eat I get a stomach ache. There have been times where I came close to vomiting. My surgeons office told me it's because I am eating too much. That 4 bites is all I should be taking at each meal. Not happy [emoji53]

I'm 3 months post-sleeve and haven't vomited even once. I get gurgling when I eat too much but no vomiting.

I vomited my first night home. That's it. I'm never nauseated. I'm five weeks out and besides fatigue (which is slowly improving) and eating small amounts I wouldn't even know I had surgery.
I feel for those who are feeling sick. That sounds so miserable. I hope it passes for you all.
