Help... sick of throwing up!

I am having a difficult time. I'm still eating too fast I guess, and then I throw up all the time. It has been bad the last three days. Nothing that I eat seems to settle right, and I have alot of acid, and stomach gas. I'm 9 weeks out, and starting to worry I am getting an ulcer. I take chewable Pepcid sometimes, but I even throw that up lately. Has anyone else encountered this? Other than that, I feel great most of the time, as long as I don't eat much.

first always check with your doctor. I had a major problem with throwing up after every meal. My doctor told me to drink diet soda before,during and after each meal. I washes out the excess flim and breaks down the harder or more solid flim so it will pass. It will not strech your pouch.The only thing is do not drink regular soda, too much sugar and liquid cals. You will need to ween your self to sipping while you eat. Most of the time I find the food is too dry this will cause more flim to build. good luck.

I was told I couldn't have any soda, diet or otherwise because od the bubbles. What you're saying makes sense though. I have alot of excess film. I throw up slimmy bubbles. I will talk to my doc. Thanks Kenneth. My Dad and Granpa are named Kenneth, and go by Ken. It is a nice name. I appreciate your help. Rebecca RNY 2/9/06 -9 weeks out 269/219 -50lbs as of today!

Rebecca, Is it one particular food that you are eating when you do throw up? Do you think that you are eating to fast, or eating too much? I tend to have more problems when I am eating chicken, especially chicken tenders. If you are eating too fast, try to distract yourself from your food. One guy mentioned that between every bite of food, he waits two minutes before eating his next bite. If I am eating too much, my body gives off signals' when I am full...my nose will start to run. When that happens, I put my fork down, and if I happen to be chewing food, I will take that food out of my mouth with a napkin, and say 'that is it!!' I hope that this helps you, and good luck. Hope to see ya at the April gathering. Norma

Hi Norma, I can't eat chicken at all. The things I can eat and sometimes keep down are: shrimp ****tail, filet mignon, poached fish, cottage cheese, peanuts, soy nuts, splenda yogurt smoothies, other skim milk cheeses, occasional pretzels, and have tried some pork loin. Lately, I throw up everything, even water. I think it is because I eat too fast. I am going to try what you suggested. My nose runs too, I didn't realize that was from being full, thanks! Yes, I am going Sat. Looking forward to meeting you! On the bright side I hit the -50 mark today 9 weeks post op. I just hope when I am finally able to keep food down I will still be able to lose.
