True Confessions.....

I've never thrown up or foamed or whatever you call it.  What happens to me is I get nauseated and WISH I could throw up.  I just have to wait it out.   I don't do that very often cause I hate nausea.

I have found that the farther out I am from surgery(2-1/2 years), the easier it is to make myself throw up.  At first(first year) I think I threw up maybe  twice.  After the honeymoon period and you've been maintaining for a wile, you eat a greater variety of food, you forget the rules that you lived by, and start doing things you shouldn't.  I would get this pain at the lower end of my esophogus that nothing would aleve.  I rarely have this happen, but it has happened several times, usually at a party or gathering.  You start to graze throughout the night, while drinking and don't realize that you're taking in more food than your new stomach can handle.  I am now able to just go in the bathroom and throw up.  Mind you, I was the kind of person that NEVER threw up, no matter how badly I felt.  Now, I get that "feeling", walk into the bathroom, and just stare at the toilet, and voila! 
Not something I'm proud of, but I'm just letting you guys know how things change as time progresses.  My husband gets very upset at me if I start to head into the bathroom after I eat, always assuming I'm going to throw up, which really p*sses me off!  Again, I think it's happened maybe 10 times in the past year, which sounds like a lot, but it's not bulimia, where people throw up 10 times a day!
 

Love hearing from you!  There's nothing like our sharing experiences with each other!  Thanks so much!!

Summer, the same thing happens to me, including hubbies glare, assuming I will be sick!  I have always had a quick gag reflex and it doesn't take much for me to vomit.  I have to say, though, that vomitting post op is easy peasy. (Not that I recommend it or like it in any way shape or form, lol).  I don't have any retching or pain or even any bile.  The food tastes the same coming up it went down as it's usually a matter of minutes and it comes up painlessly like a big burp.  Sorry for the TMI!

LOL! I feel ya! No bad pukey taste or acid, which I think is strange too

Thanks Summer,

I have had the same experiences at 28 months out.

I so can relate.   Just like you,  mines started after about a year out.

I just love this group.   I love that I can be honest with others who may or may not have expierenced this, but the beautiful part is that there is no judgement, just sharing our experiences with each other.
I woke up this morning and ask myself why I did this last night.  Was I hungry?  I sincerely doubt it and "my head' said "hey, let's have something crunchy and "I" did.  I always have a problem with cereal because I love to drink the milk in my bowl.  Whenever I mix liquid with food, it's not good.  Some of you know that I am sober  (125 days) and have gone back to AA.  And, there's a saying in AA.....Am I too tired, hungry, lonely or angry.  The one that gets me "everytime" is "tired", but I have to watch out for all of them.
 Love you guys, thanks to all who commented.  Have a great day!

And Sick is a good one to add to the list, someone mentioned and now I always do, because its true. 

Bigfatlove baby!  Babysteps everyday!  everysingleday! 

You have a good day to, my love! 

OMG all you vomiters...I'm so jealous.  WHY CAN'T I THROW UP?  I've never thrown up even once since my sleeve.  I wonder what would happen if I got a stomach virus?  Sometimes you need to throw up to get bad food out of yourself.  I'm a freak....

I have vomited, after random egg salad meetups, but its just as violent as before.  I always have and still do get broken blood vessels on my face, around my eyes, and even down my neck.

No WAY could I ever hide recreational vomiting!

And too, I think when your needs to puke, it will.  Misseye was worried she could not vomit either and then one day posted it as a questionable NSV.  :}
