I just would like to know if any of you are having vomiting problems. I am 10 weeks out and still lose at least one meal a day ... somedays nothing will stay in my pouch. I have learned to eat slowly and chew all food well but am still having problems. Any suggestions out there?

I have the same issue if I'm not getting enough protein. Try drinking a protein drink early in the day, and switch the vitamins till night. That fixed the issue for me. Hope it helps!

I, too, take my larger vitamins at night, but I had the same issues during my pregnancies. The morning just didn't work for me. I have not had much vomiting unless I induce it myself. There were many many times I still took too large a bite, and having never been one to throw up much, I would suffer with it for the next hour, hurting, mouth watering, deep breathing through it... But right or wrong I found that if I get "that feeling", I go throw it up, feel better within a minute and start over. When I was at my worst I stuck to soup. I did have to realize that the denser the food, the smaller bite I have to take. It's like trial and error. And I cannot do bread and pasta, they seem to expand. One of my best tips and tricks is that the food I eat must be moist. That might mean broth, gravy, or if worst comes to worst ketchup. Even now, a piece of dry anything turns me away. Good Luck, Suzanne

Four months out and I lose one meal a day. Warm soups go down best and chili. No meat or chicken, breads or stringy vegatbles either. I probably am a bit too restricted but as long as I can keep most meals and take my medicine I am not going to complain, yet. When I reach my goal weight I may ask for a small unfill. Jim

I am 4 months out and down 80 pounds...20 to go to goal. I vomit everything. It doesnt matter the speed, the amount, the type. I vomit everything solid. My doctor says I do not have a stricture. He says I just have an extra sensitive stomach. I am hoping it will go away eventually. Just remember to drink lots and dont let yourself get dehydrated. My doctor suggests gatorade because it has potassium in it. Ive been in the hospital a few time for dehydration and low potassium.
