I threw up this morning. It was all liquid and I guess last night's food. Now I can't keep anything down. Water feels like it's stuck so I don't want to drink too much. It isn't going down. I don't want to get dehydrated. Is something stuck? I don't know what to do.

That was the most frustrating part of this whole process for me. Some days, the pouch just wakes up angry.

People kept telling me "it gets easier.". And at the time, i thought, "great. Now what do i do about today?" and if one more person told me to sip on a protein shake, i thought i would lose it.

2 things helped me: sf popsicles (cuz you can't eat one too fast and applesauce. Something about the pectin ? Seemed to help calm the pouch.

I also developed the insane habit of thinking about my new tummy as another person with her own anger issues. Be nice to her when she's angry!

Hope you feel better.

Call your surgeon

You likely have a stricture.... you need to be seen TODAY

 Thanks for the advice. I can actually keep water down down. Would it be okay to just drink water all day and not eat anything. I'm only two weeks out so I'm thinking this might not be the worst thing in the world. Any advice?

If you can keep liquids down, then go liquids for a day to get over your pouch being upset....but if you can't get liquids down, it's time to call your surgeon....AS SOON AS that becomes a problem

I hope you feel better soon! i had been doing GREAT, then today I'm having issues. I had a protein shake this AM, then threw up twice - but I used a dulcolax suppository to help with constipation - does that sound like a connection or just coincidence? It was just so SUDDEN, and I was scared to vomit because I'm still healing...

Get well soon!

I didn't read all the answers but if you haven't called your surgeon please do.  You are at the point many that do get strictures start experiencing problems.

 I am having the same prob except I can not throw up.. I want to but lord i can't. It takes everything i have to get down any liquids. I called my dr. and they told me stop my protein drinks and do lots of liquids b/c nausea etc is a sign of the dehydration cycle and i should also get some dramanine..*sp* the dramanine has helped some with the nausea but still hard to gt down my liquids. blah.. I go monday for my apt and cant wait to sit and talk with the dr.. i have been this way since wed.. Woke up and my pouch was angry as all heck.. Good luck hope u get to feeling better soon..
