Throwing up cherries... how odd

I am one of those people who never had problems throwing up post-op. I was 18 months out before I threw up for the first time (not counting some barium, LOL) and I can count on one hand the number of times that I have thrown food up in the past 5 years except when I was ill.

It is now cherry season, and I love cherries, so I made a small fruit salad as "dessert" after dinner that had two strawberries, three raspberries, and 6 cherries topped with a tablespoon of Cool Whip. I have eaten all of these things MANY times since surgery, including two days ago. Almost as soon as I finished one strawberry, one raspberry and all 6 cherries, I suddenly knew it was coming back up. No particular nausea or distress, just the unmistakable feeling that I was going to throw up... and as soon as I did I felt (and still feel) just fine.

Very odd. Just thought I would share an example of how sometimes, even many years out, the pouch just kind of has a mind of its own...

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

LOL.  I had not even thought about that!  It has been a long time since I last saw the movie, but it IS quite funny now that you mention it.

that happens to me and it is just because either I didnt chew enough on that particular day or I swallowed to fast.  I rarely throw up and I never have any discomfort but once it starts, all that I ate comes back up just as I ate it

 What a great role she had!
I live in cherry land. I have two cherry trees in the front yard. For me there is a definite limit.
I love cherries though.
