I'm 4 weeks out and this week (when i started solids) it's been nearly every day.  Thursday was bad I threw up all day long but i think my pouch was irritated from getting sick so it rebelled anything I put in it.  Yesterday was only once tho and it was because I ate one bite too many at dinner.  Hopefully today will be a good day.

I had surgery a couple of days before you, and I used to throw up daily.  After a while my pouch seemed to start agreeing with food.  I now throw up every other day....I think it's getting better for me, and it will get better for you.

I've been very fortunate in that I've never thrown up or even felt like I wanted to.  I burp a lot.  I'm 2 months post-op and I chew, chew, chew and still measure everything out like the nutritionist told me to.

I'm 7 years out and still throw up twice a week or so.  However, I know why.  I eat too fast.  Take too large of bites.  Don't chew enough times.  Whenever I'm mindful of these things, like the poster above, I don't throw up.  {sigh}  It's something you have to pay attention to the rest of your life, I guess - but it's definitely worth it.  Slow down and enjoy your food, for cryin' out loud!   I love being slim, and you will too.  Good luck, all!

Never since surgery. I chew well, eat moist foods and don't drink for an hour or so after eating...thank goodness! Sorry you're having trouble.    Connie

Heh... that is why I got a sleeve. ;o)

I will NEVER live with a pouch and stoma again, those days are history.  Today, no food intolerances and no puking, sliming, or foaming like a rabid dog.

Months one to four, post-operatively speaking, I was throwing up 10 to 15 times a day. Everything made me sick - water, vitamins, food, protein drinks, oxygen, Lifetime Movie Network, Jesus, everything! I finally had an EGD done and they found an ulcer. I took carafate for a bit and the vomiting died down a bit.

Now at almost 15 months post-op, I throw up once or twice a week, usually when I eat something I know I shouldn't eat - bread, pasta, etc. - or when I eat and drink at the same time.
