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.

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

Now that sounds rough!

It was for sure!! Everything is fine now. But...if my stomach hurts even a little my first thought is OH NO not again!! LOL Nothing yet. Thank goodness

Even at 16 months out I will feel quite ill if I eat too fast. I get dumping syndrome - regardless of sugar content in food - if I eat my 1/4 oz in under 1 hour I can be quite ill for a long time. I get weak, can't talk, can't move, have never thrown up but do this weird horrible breathing thing and then I fall asleep for a period of time between 20 minutes and 6 hours. It's horrible.

I can't stress enough to be careful when eating and give yourself time. Most days it's fine but when it's bad I can't do anything and it puts my entire life on hold while I have medical event happening.

I try to maintain my good attitude and sense of humor about it. I say that I'd much rather have this horribly sick feeling than be morbidly obese and dying. So there's that. hahah!

I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but if I eat too fast or too much I get severe pain, feel really naseaus and wish I’d throw up to make it stop. After about 30 minutes it eases, but until then any activity, conversation or anything but sitting is horrible.
