I was starting to think maybe my pouch didn't work too good.  Maybe it kicked the bucket.  Maybe it gave out.  Maybe I stretched it.  Maybe it didn't like me and it was on strike.  Maybe I could get my money back from Dr. Houston (yeah you can laugh at that one too!  I'm sure he would!!!)  Well... I learned that IT STILL WORKS. I haven't thrown up since 3 mos postop.  Until lately.  A few weeks ago I got sick...  it hurt like a dickens.  You know the kind I'm talking about... like someone sitting or standing on you... I had eaten some low carb low sugar Breyers chocolate Carb Smart.  I thought maybe I didn't wait long enough after I ate... I hurt so bad I did something out of desperation. I put my entire hand down my throat (I have never been able to force myself to throw up.)  Finally a little bit of saliva came up. My tummy hurt.  I had to go lay down.  Well at work the other day, I got sick.  I threw up.  I had not eaten too much... or too fast. It was weird.  I still dont know what it was.  Then the other night, I ate a light supper, waited for almost 2 hrs and again tried some chocolate Carb Smart in a mini very good for you banana split.  Argh! My stomach hurt so bad!  This time, I did not force myself to throw up.  It sure didn't work last time!!  So I sat in the recliner and just rested, tried to relax.  Finally it let up.  Today, I had a little bit of breakfast...  felt just fine... that was at 9 am.   I was busy and thought I'd wait later for lunch... so around 1, I went to the cafeteria.  I sat down, ate some chicken breast, and some peas and carrot medley, and my lord it hurt so bad!  I sat straight up and leaned back a tad....  hoping to let it pass through.  I had to shut my box cause the food started making me nauseous.  Again, not too much, nor too fast...  I did chew chew chew.  ANYWAY...  I had to make myself throw it up AGAIN cause it was stuck.  Just plain stuck.  So whats the deal?  I got my AchievOne and drank it about an hour later for my lunch.  Even for supper, I wasn't able to eat very much and got out my Kroger strawberry low carb yogurt, calorie countdown hood fat free milk and made myself a smoothie.  I just dont want solid foods right now.

Sounds to me like you have a pi$$ed off pouch. Maybe there's something in the Carb Smart that it doesn't like or just doesn't like right now. I hope you get over it and it's nothing serious.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

I can't eat the no suagr added ice cream either. It makes me really naseaus for some reason. And I have "tested" several flavors and brands. . It is all of them. So I  gave up eating that. But if you are getting sick a day later and eating regular food, maybe you have a little bug. Sickness does seem to be going around right now. If it keeps happening, you may need to go the docs. I know you had your gallbladder taken out so it can't be that but maybe it could be an ulcer or just a bug or something. Either way, I hope you get to feeling better soon  (hopefully before thursday).
