Help ! Barf question
Ok, I just had my first barf since my surgery. I ate a piece of cheese and toast way too fast while sitting here reading the paper. I realized it wasn't gonna sit well with me, so I ran up to the bathroom and had to throw it up. I did not chew it up well at all. Anyway, after all the food came up, then there was a little bit of blood that came up next. Anyone ever done this??? Should I be scared??? I seem to be fine now, not hurting or anything. Think I ruptured a small blood vessel?

I did this at around 6 weeks out. I called my surgeon. You should call yours just in case. I got nauseated from a peice of chicken that was too fatty.
My Dr. said I probably irritated my stomach lining when I was retching. He also recommended that if I stayed nauseous, I should take my anti nausea medication to keep from barfing again. Your pouch is brand new and tender. Take care of it!
CHEW CHEW CHEW..and then chew some more. Anytime I've barfed since surgery is because I was eating too fast and got something stuck.
Definitely call your doctor if it continues. Better safe than sorry and anyway, thats why they make the big $$$$.
