I can't throw up!

I'm 4 1/2 weeks post-op from a transected proximal RNY. I have never thrown up (since surgery). Today I ate 2 veggie meatballs plus about 2 spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce (about 1.5 ounces of food) and was so full that I really, really hurt and wanted to GET IT OUT. I couldn't. I even stuck my finger in the back of my throat, but I couldn't throw it up. I don't normally WANT to throw up, but I thought that was what's supposed to happen if we eat too much. Anyone else have this problem? I know I should just not overeat to avoid it, but I didn't think the 2 veggie meatballs would really be too much. I'm still learning! What happens if I really overeat and can't throw it up? I don't want to hurt my pouch!
