So yeah everything has been going great until last night. I never thought or felt like this would happen but then I had just one bite to much & had a run in with my arch enemy RALPH!

It wasn’t to bad but I don’t want to do this again! Weighing with a food scale or using a measuring cup from here on out.

Puking freaks me out. Especially in the early days, it was a big motivator for weighing food, eating specific amounts, and never getting to the point of full (let alone overly full).

Agreed! I’ll be 4 weeks out on Thursday & it’s definitely a concern getting sick even once this early on & so not worth the risk. I’m going to be sure to eat no more than half a cup moving forward.

I've been lucky...I haven't puked and it will be one year since surgery on April 13th. I hate throwing up!

I threw up on like my first week post op. I was scared but nothing happened. I was so hungry and ate way too fast and I threw up. It wasnt too cool.

Wow! That’s a great stay there! I never actually imagined I would throw up as good as I’ve felt since surgery.

I may not have eaten to much myself. I was in a hurry & ate the same amount as I have been eating when it happened. I just ate faster than usual. At any rate my fault & lesson learned. Excuses won’t undo what has already happened. Time to move forward & be more cautious from here on out.

That's been my culprit. I haven't actually thrown up but have gotten "the slimies" a few times. Every damned time has been due to eating chicken. Either it was from not chewing well enough or eating a bit too fast. It still amazes me in a matter of 10 seconds I could go from "I feel fine" to "I'm going to throw up right now!"

Luckily I'd make it to the bathroom and not actually get sick. The slimies are damn near as bad as getting sick. Some days I think it would have been better to have thrown up and got it over with.

That’s exactly what it was. It was not actual food but more like slimy phlegm. Not being gross just a realist.

Yep...that's what I've had too. It's awful to go through. If I have chicken salad I'm fine because I typically shred that. If I'm eating a solid chicken breast that's when I have to be really careful. Otherwise I've gotten a full feeling from other foods but nothing else has pushed me to getting sick like chicken has.

I haven’t had much chicken but I’ll take you at your word & be careful when I do have some.

Dear Sweet 6.8lb Baby Jesus,

Please don't let this happen to me. You know how I freak about ralphin. And you know how I extra freak about slime...

Thanks,

Me, Margaret

May you be blessed with a non-puking face!

I puked twice since surgery and it was all due to eating too fast

Seems to be the case more than eating to much. Sometimes we are in a hurry in this fast paced life. We have no choice but to SLOW DOWN and enjoy! Lesson learned I guess right?

Well Well, how well I know about Ralphin!! I had Strictures and started vomiting very soon after my RNY. I had 5 ENDOSCOPES with 4 DIALATIONS. I had the FOAMIES more times than I can count. I couldn't keep even water down. I took my sleeping pills and was throwing up all night the next morning still going at it and up comes 2 Amitriptlyn undigested they had set on top of my pouch all night and came out as they went in!! I got so tired of driving 2 hours away to see my Surgeon. From Nov 2013, Dec 2013 Jan 2014 July 2014 with my last one Jan 2015. BTW I fired my Dr. and now I have to drive 4 hour drive but at least I am comfortable with that Bariatric Center. For those of you that go out of the States and are worried about after care, you can get DR's to take you on. Also, my PCP orders my blood work and I have her add what the Bariatric DR needs and then it is faxed to them. I only have to see them if needed. There we are done cryin here. LOL
