Throwing up and really frustrated



Recommended Posts

It started last night. I had a fill 10 days ago and have been doing fine...last night I made the mistake of taking a tiny sip of Water after I ate and I got sick and threw up....then today for lunch I ate and got sick......How would I know if anything slipped during this throw up fest I seem to be having all of a sudden.

I've had the same issue ... that is if I drink directly after a meal or eat the wrong thing and throw up, if I try and go back to solids right away I will keep throwing up.

I would suggest a liquid diet for 1 or 2 days and gentling getting back to more solid foods slowly.

You'll be fine ... just slow down and go back to liquids.< /p>

Thanks, thats what I have been doing. I guess getting sick last night just caused everything to swell up cuz I can only tolerate liquids or really soft stuff today..it feels like it did right after I got this fill. Thanks a lot...I feel better now :thumbup:

I'm having similar problems at the moment and have to recommend going to liquids for a day or two. I'm finding it quite hard as it's been several days now and I'm getting really hungry, in spite of my stomach feeling so tender. :) Good luck!

i started throwing up alot too...about a month ago...sometimes i would throw up food and other times it would be hours after i ate anything and i would throw up clear slime and it would go on for atleast 30 min where my body would keep going into the motions of throwing up but nothing would come out...talk about exhausting and painful! both docs, pcp and surgeon, told me to take a zantac or something along those lines everyday and i havn't thrown up since! i would have never thought because it was never acidy nor did i have heartburn or anything.

I havent had the surgery yet, but I am definately looking into it. I have a BMI of about 61. I have an appt with my doc on Sept. 3rd and I am sure she will approve of the surgery. Are there any certain questions I should ask her? I have done alot of reading on the internet about the surgery and I think it's the right choice for me. I do have diabetes and high blood pressure. I also have sleep apnea but havent gone for a sleep study yet. I feel like this has to be it for me or I will die young like my mother. I want to see my kids grow up and I want to be able to live life to the fullest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! thanks

i would ask about follow up care and support...i didn't think it would be all that important but it definetly helped me the first few months. they also assigned me a buddy to email. ask who will do your fills and how? sometimes nurses end up doing them or a pa...make sure you are comfortable with that. do they do them under fleuro or do they just feel around for the port. if you're concerned with the cost ask what all is covered under the amt they are charging you...like all your fills for a year or will you need to pay for each fill...ask who you can contact to find out how much so you're not totally freaked out when you get bill after bill. how long in the hospital? what will you need to accomplish before they will let you go home?

hmm that's all i can think of! =) hope that helped!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
