Vomiting Please help
Hi everyone I had my surgery May 7th and I am trying to eat but every time I eat something I vomit.....Exept Oatmeal. At this point should I be still getting sick? Tonight I went out to eat and I tried fish and I was in the bathroom vomiting about 10 minutes after I had 3 forks full. I had been check for a blockage but all is ok with my pouch!
Please help.....going nuts and getting depressed will I ever eat again?
Thanks,
Jilly
Hi Jilly! You need to contact your surgeon again, you shouldn't be puking like that on a regular basis, it can't be good for the new pouch either! Have you tried switching to a shrimp fork and a baby spoon, maybe you are putting too much down at one time. I am 13 months out I still take a shrimp fork with me or chop sticks wherever I go to slow me down. Good Luck, ANDI
Hi Jilly.
Are you vomitting everything up - or just certain things? Are you eating too fast or bigger pieces than you should? There are a few select items that just don't sit right with me although I've not vomitted.
If you do throw up try to be gentle on your new tummy for the rest of the day.( Like stay away from solids til the irritation goes away.
Make sure that you get your liquids in and call the Drs. office tomorrow.
Good Luck.~~

It could be something as simple as a stricture. I don't mean to be so laid-back about it, but you should definitely call your surgeon. That's why we pay them the big bucks!! If it is a stricture, it can be fixed. As long as your surgeon knows about it, he can fix it. If you don't tell him, he won't know and you could be sitting on a bigger problem the longer you wait. It is Sunday, however, so I understand you'll probably have to wait 'til tomorrow. Unless, you feel like you can't wait and would like to experience food, then call him ASAP. Good luck with whatever you decide, friend! I'll be praying for you!
