Today I spewed at a restaurant. I ate too fast and too soon after drinking. It was a terrible, embarrassing lesson.

We live and we learn. Some of us test the pouch and it is human nature. You likely won’t do it again.

First of all, I am sorry this happened to you....But man that was the funniest thing I have seen here in a long time. From the title to the post.....You put a smile on my face.

Did you have the presence to say "Well Excuse Me Folks" or did you just kind of slink away??

I had my first close call today. Dinner with family at home, but man that would have been memorable. Managed the food on my plate well and ate to just under restriction, but I wasn't thinking and took a swig from the water glass someone had put at my setting and there was a VERY close moment where it felt it would come right back out and bring friends. Like, into-my-mouth close. Yikes.

I’m ashamed to say it but I slinked away! I had just two bites of food but it didn’t wait long enough after water so when I stood up it just came up. It was mainly water but I did wipe down the seat!

Yes! The water, such a trap!

I have not had the surgery yet. I am scheduled for August 17. I have the lap band and understand not to drink while eating with that but what you guys are talking about is different. Please explain what this is and why it happens.

I had a lapband and it sucked glad your getting it removed lol

lap band = stuck sensation followed by a more controlled Yak

Gastric sleeve your full to capacity you forget and drink some fluid and Yak but it’s quicker and uncontrolled, it happened to me playing beer pong at a party lol lesson learned...

good of luck with your surgery.

Wow thanks for the clarification. At least it was at a party playing beer pong. So it begs the question, you are able to drink beer??

Able to yes SMALL AMOUNT!

If I am out socially I drink non carbonated or mix drinks. But for the days I want to have a beer yes I am able to drink a pint over an hour, compared to the pitcher I use to drink before VSG.

Alcohol does slow down weight loss though and Stalls are a B!tch to get over so you learn as you go what to stay away from as it’s a balance between indulging rewards and scale victories.

Me too on going from lapband to sleeve. And this is spot on. It completely takes you by surprise. The 30 min rule is so important.
