Hey Tracy,
I have only thrown up twice. One on a EAS protein bar cookies and creme flavor, and once on two triscuits. It sucked. The thing is though, that each time I felt soooo much better afterward. The funny part is that I had also just drank some water to get rid of the stuck feeling and puked immediately afterward. The water came back up sooo cold and it was the strangest sensation ever!
As far as dumping syndrome goes, that only happend once, on an Atkins Vanilla shake. Dang man, I had to pull my car over and lay down in it! I felt like I was on some BAD drugs, LOL! I was all shaky and weak and my heart was racing. I wish I could have vomited but no such luck. I felt like I could die!
Oh, well. We live and learn!

Tracy,
I couldn't do any meat what so ever unless it was processed lunch meat and hot dogs the first 6 mo. No matter how it was cooked, how tender it was, I would end up vomiting it back up.
Dr. Aguirre explained it like this..He said that where he reconnected the intestines to our new pouch is very sensitive and can stay swollen and irritable for up to 6 mo. Not a true stricture of anything in that nature. If you think about it the tissue has been cut and sewn back so it has healing to do.
I can eat meat now without difficulty. I am just sure I chew it really well. Every now and then I have to puke because of the stuck feeling.
Also in the beginning I lived on sugar free popscicles. They seemed to sooth my pouch nicely.
Keep up the awesome weight loss!
