How often do you throw up?
I am 8 months out and I havent thrown up once yet. I have always been a bit weak in my tummy so I was worried throwing up would be a problem but not at all. I even managed to not get the tummy flu that went around twice this year.
I dont even feel like I chew all the differently or eat differently now...its weird to feel sooo normal in this area AND be dropping weight so consistently.

Not real often now but I did a lot in the beginning. I threw up last night, though. I think it was from eating too fast and not chewing well enough. I was eating my regular evening snack of a few pretzels and some cheese and I was in a hurry and as soon as I was done my stomach started to hurt and then some of it came back up.
I'd say I might throw up once a month these days and it's usually eating too fast or eating a little too much. I measure my food most of the time but occasionally I got out to eat or I'm at someone's house and I try to just guess the amount and I'm not very good at that.

So far, I haven't thrown up. I've felt like I was going to a couple of times, but it finally stayed put. Both times, it was because I didn't chew something well enough before swallowing. I would have felt better -- quicker -- If I HAD thrown up.
I've been very careful ever since about eating slowly and chewing to a pulp before swallowing and haven't had any more problems.

10 weeks out. I've had foamies about 6 times and have thrown up 4 of those times. Once with pork, once with shrimp, once with chicken, once with steak.....never with ground beef though. But I do not eat meat often. Lately I am into greek yogurt with sugar free flavoring and bran stirred in for fiber, and also into beans. I make bean salad out of several kinds of rinsed and drained beans, finely chopped celery, onions and green peppers and a small amount of low fat italian dressing. Salt and pepper and some cumin and I'm good to go. And it lasts a long time in the fridge.
