OK, the honeymoon is over?

My first 2+ months everything went perfectly!  In the past week I've had several occasions where foods that never bothered me before are bothering me.  A couple of times I was ready to throw up but I fought it off over several hours.

Any thoughts? 

Maybe you've developed a stricture? 

I was thinking the same thing....

Years ago I went to the local support group meeting.  The bariatric surgeon was the speaker...Question and answer.  I loved when they would come.  You could ask really complex questions.

The question was asked about strictures...When do they occur.  He said most occur around the 3 week post op time period.  But, he also said they can occur at anytime... 

I had a situation like this about my third month in. I would get what most vets here call "the foamies" -- which if you haven't had, is pretty miserable.  It's caused by food basically getting somewhat stuck before the stomach.  It would feel like taking a sip of water would help -- but what a fool's fix that is!!  That makes it 100% times worse.  If it were minor -- I would just feel that feeling like you have to throw up for quite a while.  Frankly, tossing it up was the quickest and easiest way for me to stop it... 

For me, there were certain foods that always seemed to cause it:  tuna and cucumber slices were two.  But like you, what concerned me is that suddenly food that was a go-to -- like chicken or beef would randomly cause it.  

I found that it really wasn't sudden.  I had relaxed somewhat and wasn't as careful every time in really chewing up my food.  There were times when I would eat just one more bite and that was all it took to cause it.  A few times, the meat was just especially dry or stringy -- 

Good news is that it passed as I learned to slow the hell down and to stop BEFORE I felt full.  It's sort of a self-limiting problem that way.  There's really nothing I cannot eat easily now -- and sometimes I wish I had that check and balance system back!  

eating too fast?

This exact thing is happening to me too! Sometimes I'm eating too fast or eat a bit too much. If I'm especially hungry I REALLY have to be careful, slow down and stop eating WAY before I'm full! Also experiencing where food I thought I loved doesn't even taste the same anymore... So I move on to something else! Good Luck!

Happened to me at about two months.  Ended up throwing up several times a wee****il I learned to slow down, chew really well, and stop before it was too much.  It also felt like a heart attack... especially with chicken.  Throwing up was the quickest resolution.  I am four months out now and that has not happened for a month or more.

Good morning!

Sorry... I used to be that daily reader & back throughout the day.  Life has been busy....

So sorry to hear that is happening to you.

Your journey has inspired me and I hope that what ever it is that it will resolve with time.

What has you weight management centre said?

I am still only half way through my first week.

I have no experience or insight to share...

Take care

It still happens to me at 8 months post-op. Foamies are the worst! It happens when I eat too fast. It basically happens because I haven't planned well and actually find myself hungry and don't eat mindfully.
