Puking: Post-Op vs. Pre-Op

So...is it any different? Instead of explosive vomiting with a full, normal size stomach, is post-op puking a quieter, bubble up type situation into your mouth? Sorry for the gross topic, but I'm curious. I spend 9hr a day in a relatively open office type cubicle with folks around me that can hear me, but not see me. I'm hoping that if I get in a puking predicament, it's something that no one will necessarily be able tell unless I spit into the trashcan or something...

My puking was definitely not noiseless. Loud heaving. But maybe because it was primarily dry-heaving from spasms and stomach acid and not just a bit of food coming up. I've regurgitated food once (little tiny bits and pieces) and that was noiseless. I don't consider that really vomiting though. It just... came back up quietly and grossly. lol.

I drink a flat white every morning on my way to work and it goes down great. Mind you, it's 45 minutes after breakfast, so lots of time to let any food go down. I'm wondering if you barfed because you drank your mocha so soon after eating the apple and Pringles. I did that once and almost immediately felt the need to spew.
Could be! I also had the hot flushy feeling and nausea. I usually try and separate out drinking and eating as per The Rules, but I do suspect the chocolate in the Mocha was the main problem [emoji24][emoji24]
