Hi,

How often do you throw up since your surgery? I’m very scared- phobic of throwing up. Thanks in advance!!

Hi there, I am 8 weeks post op. And I also was so concerned about getting sick, but I have been lucky so far. I really pay attention to my body, and know my limits. Getting sick was one of my biggest worries, and since everyone is different its really hard to say. But I hope you do great also, and you will learn your ever changing body too. Good luck.

Never :). Got goalies once or twice but have never thrown up

Should say “foamies”.... not goalies” —damn auto correct

I have never thrown up in the seven years since surgery. I don't know what "slimies" or "foamies" are from any personal experience, only what others report.

Thanks so much all! My surgery is tomorrow and I’m kinda in panic mode.

I’ve thrown up a few times. Mostly because I ate too much and didn’t know my limits

It’s very much a mental thing to walk away from a plate that still has food on it. But, if you think you are full, you probably are. You don’t get to make room for more bites in a few minutes - there’s no room.

Just some words of wisdom from someone who’s now thrown up in a neighbors lawn, completely sober.... ?

I've been seriously thinking about compiling a bariatric surgery / weight-loss glossary of terms and I thought, "Oh! A new word to add." Good thing you corrected your post. I would have wasted time looking for the definition of a term that doesn't exist.

So glad to hear Im not alone!! Thank you ?

I have never thrown up.

I have eaten too quickly a few times and gotten some bad chest pressure from that but as others said you learn your limits.

Some people do seem more prone to nausea and vomiting than others.

Okay- thanks so much. I’m trying to be positive as I get ready for my big day today and this helps!!

Never

Never in "public"
Once in Paris I tried pan a cotta and had dumping symptoms (excused myself to the bathroom and played on the floor forever)

Tried scrambled eggs at home 6 months out and it came back up

Last night at almost 9 months post op, I ate a tiny bit if shredded raw purple cabbage with my dinner and felt like I needed to go to the ER

So only two incidents involving food coming back up, but a few others types of discomfort

That made me giggle! I've been thinking about compiling and making a video on these terms. There are so many and I'm still guessing/googling on half of them. Haha!

Zero times. Didn't even need the nausea meds before, during or after surgery.

Hopefully by this time you are already in surgery or done with surgery because my experience is different than the previous posters. Despite having a nausea patch and every single different kind of nausea medicine available administered after surgery I struggled ALOT with nausea and dry heaving about 3-4 hours after surgery. We just couldn’t get it under control. However, by the next day I felt great! That was just my personal reaction to the anesthesia used for surgery and it had to get out of my system. I am 6 days post op and typically wake up a bit nauseous but nothing so bad that I would throw up.
