Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 For me, the throwing is not so bad as before. It's almost like I can imagine a sort of vase like container and when food fills up the round bottom it just backs up and overflows up the " neck'. gross enough? I usually start just belching like crazy and then after a while the food seems to just come back up. Sometimes I will really wretch and throw a lot. I had pasta the other night - a small amount of spaghetti. Never again. I threw right away and felt like I was going to choke to death. The whole strands were caught in my throat on the way up and I couldn't breathe. Scary. Of course I decided to try it again the next night with the leftovers and same thing happened!! I'm just afraid I am becoming Bulemic! Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 , I am 6 weeks out today, and I have a problem with throwing up. It is different now, after I throw up I always feel better. (not that I enjoy throwing up). It also is usually always liquid. Sorry if I've grossed anybody out. take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 , Yes, the puking thing after surgery (for me) is wicked different. I don't throw hardly at all, but when I have (2x in nine months), you feel this wicked pressure thing in the upper chest area, nausea, and WANT to puke. I'm the type of person, that when " viewing " the porcelain, and think about what normally goes in there, I puke. The difference is now, I don't actually puke the food, but more of a slimy, gooey phlegm thing...sorry to be so blunt, but it's the only way I know! Once u do it, you feel SOOOO much better! Dawn Throwing Up Well, since someone else has decided to post the throwing up senerio, I have a question that I want to ask. I was told that throwing up after surgery is different then before surgery. I am pre-op right now, and I don't throw up hardly at all right now. I know that when I have (when I've been sick or something) I cry and I am miserable. That horrible taste in the back of your throat and the heaving from your stomach is definetely not something that I am looking forward to. Is it true that throwing up is different after surgery, and if so, how? Thanks everyone for bearing with my many pre-surgery questions. I appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hot off the press- summer's here! School's out and it's sizzling hot.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 I'm sorry to hear about those of you that have this problem. What does your doctor say? I've never been sick since having the surgery almost a year ago so I can't comment on what its like before/after.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Yes, I know. I'm not chewing well enough or eating slow enough I think. What I did with the pasta was twirl it around my fork and then swallow. It " unwound " !!! Yuck. I'll try and do better. Kath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 I was throwing up when I started real food. I was just not chewing enough and taking small enough bites. Also I ate to much and not SLOWWWW enough. It's learning to eat all aver again. Pam On Wed, 31 May 2000 13:46:39 EDT mediadir4@... writes: > For me, the throwing is not so bad as before.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2000 Report Share Posted May 31, 2000 Kathleen, You mentioned the strands came up...could it be you're not chewing enough? You should not see " chunks " if you're chewing well. Just my opinion sweety! Dawn Re: Throwing Up For me, the throwing is not so bad as before. It's almost like I can imagine a sort of vase like container and when food fills up the round bottom it just backs up and overflows up the " neck'. gross enough?
