Good morning OH!  It has been a long while since I have been on the boards.  But I know...if I have a questions...this is the place to be!  I am struggling with some kind of illness, GI upset.  This maybe the 2nd or 3rd time since my VSG, but I realize I have never been able to vomit when ill.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I don't mean the regurgitating when you ate too much, but the heave from you toenails when you feel like total deflated dog poo and nothing is going to make you feel better until you vomit you liver out your mouth so you roll around in pain and agony until it moves the other direction and the virus inflames your lower GI tract.  Does anyone else have this affliction?  I have always been a pretty good puker, quiet, quick, not a lot of heaving...just open and go.  Now when ill, all I want is that 30 minutes of feeling decent after a good hurl but I can't get there.  :P  yuck.

Hmmm. Thinking back the last few years, I don't think I've puked like that either but I have such a mental block and aversion to vomiting that I seem to avoid it.

it is called dry heaving... it is horrible.. 

When I get that - I get warm water with bit of sale and drink it - let is come up -0 drink some more... It somehow makes it better when there is something my body can expel ...maybe it helps rinse some stuff out?  Normally a few sips and it will come back. Salt - only a pinch in a glass of water... warm..neither hot or cold... in my brain is working - I take a capsule of activated charcoal... charcoal can coat the stomach and absorb - neutralize some acid / toxins.

I have had no trouble throwing up at all.

I've done my share of heaving since my surgery a year ago, both from post-surgery nausea and most recently, from a bout of food poisoning. Never had a problem with stuff not coming back up, but since I never have a large volume of food in my stomach, I never hurl with the intensity of my pre-surgery years. There just isn't very much to come back up.

Maybe you don't vomit because there's nothing in your stomach at the time to come back up. Might be worth mentioning to your surgeon, though.

I didn't think I could vomit until recently. I've had severe nausea that made me want to puke, and mouth salivation, but not vomiting. Then I was sick over the weekend with something and got violently ill. My body made me work for it though. It was terrible.

If you get something that truly triggers a projectile type experience, it will happen. Most vomiting that I have done over the last few years was not terribly productive. Some though- dang, results like I was possessed.

Ya know, I think I may be in the same boat you are. I haven't had any stomach virus type illnesses since surgery, so I don't know if I can vomit in that situation or not. However, I have not vomited once since surgery. I have had instances where I ate too fast and was in pain and I just knew I was going to throw up - was actually hoping I would, but it never happened.

I have had a lot of the things happen to me that others say make them vomit, but I don't vomit. Not even when I want, need, plead, or pray for it. I just have to wait for the pain or discomfort to pass.
