I have found that former food favorites no longer work for me.  My pouch tolerates some foods but not others.  My son and I had surgery the same day.  I can eat eggs but he cannot.  I'm not sure if there is a scientific reason.  Ugh.  I find its best to introduce no more than one new food per day.  That way, you will find what is not going to agree with you.  The best defense against vomiting is chewing.  The ring is only 1.2 cm.  It doesn't take much to clog the ring and make you throw up.  I got a chewable vitamin caught and it took hours to free up.
If I get something stuck, all it takes is 3 gulps of soda.  Everything comes up like a geyser.  The pain is greater when you get something stuck early on.  As months pass from surgery, it becomes less painful but just as annoying.

Best of luck!!!!

Is it normal to be vomiting food up 3 weeks post op.  I've been trying different foods and they are not agreeing with me.  I'm so tried of soup.  However, I did notice that I was able to eat snow crab legs with no problem.  Does anyone have an explanation for that??? Also, any food suggestions would be appreciated.

Good morning my wonderful OH family members!  This is serious...I promise it will work but you have to promise to do this...okay?  OKAY! 

When you finish reading this...get up...that's right get right up out of your chair and head to the biggest mirror you have and strike a pose....go ahead...no one is watching but you.....

Now...how long did it take before you started to giggle at how silly this is?  (But it isn't)

Now...cross your arms over each other and give yourself a squeeze!  Go ahead...I know this sounds silly but I swear...just try it.....

Now, did you realize that you were hugging one of the most important person in the whole world?!?

Yes, you are important...and I just wanted each of you to know that!

Have a super blessed day gang!

Thanks yalg22:

Just wanted to update everyone.... Well, I'm not sure what was going on yesterday, but today I'm feeling much better.  I went to the hospital for x-rays and they all came out fine.  I'm not feeling any pain so we'll just have to see how things go.  Keep me lifted up in prayer and I really appreciate everyone responses and concern.  Once again thank you all and God bless.

I'm a week post op from having the FOBI POUCH and I've been having severe pain in my chest when I go to eat or drink anything. I've been vomiting up clear liquid all day long and it has tiny bubbles.  This is so painful.  Please let me know if anyone has experienced this in the past. The doctor is sending me for x-rays in the morning.  I'm so scared and don't know what to do.  It hurts so bad when I go to drink or digest anything.  It's a sharp pain when I swallow and then I fill like my chest expands with air.  Never had a heart attack but that's what it feels like to me. Please help with any advice.

Thanks,

Yolanda
