4th day!

Today, I completed the 4th day without getting sick.  Sorry, this is gross, but 9 times out of 10, I would eat a little and then my chest would start hurting, my mouth would salivate alot and would get sicker and sicker.  I would throw up, but never the food -- always a clear mugus.  Guess it was the foamies.   At my 6 week check up, Dr. Walton said if it got any worse to call him, because I could have a stricture.  I kept getting sick, but put off calling him.  (I know).  I could only eat like canned chicken meat with SF bar-b-q sauce all over it, or a slice of velveeta melted on it, or grind up some baked chicken in the food processor, or have some of the soft foods.  But, even then, I would sometimes get sick.   This weekend my wife cooked some chicken breasts, and actually had a few bites and didn't get sick.  Have eaten on these for several days and so far, so good.  I am so happy to have adult food.  Michael

Congratulations, Michael. May you continue to heal and tolerate a variety of foods. :)

Mike I still have days nearly 8 months out that food just does not work with me.  And yeah it sounds like you had some foamies.  Good ol fomaies.  I was sitting on the couch with my girlfriend the other night and didnt even think about it and took a bite down too fast of what I was eating.  I spent the next 15 minutes in the bathroom hacking up foamies.  Ah it sucks.  Glad to hear you are keeping things down now though.  Take it slow buddy and dont ru****

I did the same thing Michael, Actually I still do it once in a while.  There are times I have no clue how one person can have some much salavia at once.  I think you are normal, I have narrowed it down to I chewed a bite to fast, drank something to fast or just got an air bubble some how while eatting/drinking.  It was like dry heaving but alot of clear fluid thick stuff.  I dont do it near as much now, hardly ever really.  hang in there it will get better!

THIS HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I EAT TOO FAST OR TOO MUCH. IT SUCKS BIG TIME BUT I AM LEARNING. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR NEW TUMMY LIKES AND DISLIKES AND THEN WORK WITH THAT. GOOD LUCK AND YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!

I'm with Policekat - it seems to happen when I eat too fast or too much.  Nothing's nastier than a fish flavored loogie.

I'm glad you have had 4 good days! Maybe you are on a roll!
Other then that it sounds like you are doing good!
Your weight loss ticker is going down niceley!  Thats awesome!
