Well THAT was interesting! Bending and barfing...

I had a patient not too long ago who was 8 years out from her RNY. She stated she occasionally still threw up but it was different than before her surgery. She said it was like "un-eating". LOL!  No pain, no discomfort, it just "came up" !

Sounds so strange to this pre op person! Ya'll teach me so much.

That is an excellent description - I know some people are afraid of vomiting because they think it will be like pre-op but it really isn't anything like it ...

This has happened to me as well. We feed our dogs just after dinner each night. If I bend over to get the dog dish I have barfed. I thought it was just me. Happy to find out others do it as well. I wish I could tell when I am full. I do not get much of a feeling at all. I sometimes belch a little and I guess that is a feeling. That is why I have to weigh everything because I will over eat before I know it and end up barfing and sick. Those who can tell they are full are lucky, wish I was one.

I was actually one of the unusual ones who could feel "full" by the second week post op.  I cannot fully explain it (but my surgeon offered some possible reasons and assured me that I was not the only one), but I could definitely tell.  I am also one of the unusual ones who doesn't feel physical hunger... I just feel my blood sugar crash if I don;t eat often enough.

Actually, weighing will probably serve you well in the long run (but I do understand how really inconvenient that would be long term).

That use to happen on a regular basis when I had the lap band.
