Hiya,

I've had to do this twice now when something has felt its got a bit stuck, and the pain is a bit too much to handle, even though I too have chewed and chewed! Its a bit weird though because its like a foam mix that has come up....and then I am fine! lol...Its obviously not good for you, and if it happens a lot then I can imagine u will cause some damage etc. I know its not a nice subject...just wanted to say you are probably not alone!

Hi, I`ve had to a few times too, more so when first had band and was getting used to the eating and chewing slowly lark. Still have to now and again cos as u say u can`t swallow saliva and the pain is horrendous. Even if I didn`t make myself sick I`d b sick eventually anyway!!!

Since the bypass i've had to do it lots. Eating too fast, too much, food getting stuck, but haven't done it since just before christmas as i finally learned my lesson. But still some foods i have to be extra careful with.

only the once when going from puree to mush. food was too dry. but didnt have to self induce it just came up but like otheres on other threads have mentioned its not like being sick its a little like a baby possiting just frothy.

I have a couple of times. The pain is too much to bear and its frightening that I cant even swallow saliva. Its only since my 1st fill and on the transition from mushy to "normal" food again. Im sure I will learn what not to eat etc in due course. HTH R x

I have had a couple of bouts too, simply because i haven't chewed something properly, but i think we will all learn eventually to take things slower when eating.

Hiya

Ive often had to stick my fingers down my throat, sometimes things just dont feel right.

I get it often if i have red meat and i feel full but then have a drink and the pain i get makes me run for the loo to be sick

I've had to do this a couple of times - fortunately not the 'fingers down the throat' thing though (I have mastered the knack of 'pushing pouch & retching' - sorry, TMI!!)

I hasten t add, it is not a regular thing but sometimes, occasionally, it needs to be done & is such a relief after!

No, you are not alone!

 

[weight loss hopeful]

Its a horrid feeling too isnt it? x

This is what used to happen to me when ever I ate anything preop (had a wls 10 years ago that went wrong) so its made me not want to try all the things that made me sick before.

Even now I've had to do the fingers down the throat.. .mainly if I drink too soon after eating. Its not nice but I'd rather do that than suffer for hours and hours afterwards.

It's more like regurgatation than being sick I find....it kind of works it's way back up...and I am like frosty red meat is the toughest...I enjoy lamb but find I struggle with it so slow cook it in a broth and its fine...xx

lamb was the firshing i couldnt eat shame as i love it im fine with beef for some reason but cant touch fish chicken or liver odd how it goes

 

[charliegirl]

Since my op my intake of fish has incresed ten fold, I am also ok with chicken if it has sauce or gravy on....not tried liver as yet, but would do that in onion gravy if I did. Lamb is my fav meat so I am hoping things will improve with it....I suppose lamb done in a slow cooker would be very tender as well...will give it a try and let you know...xx

Starnge feeling

Hiya, I had a fill on Friday and since then I haven't been able to even eat mushies! Last night I was retching and bringing up saliva which was foamy, is this normal? It was a bit scary!

I'm in the same boat too as when pouchy doesn't like something I just know that eventually I will be sick so I induce it myself by retching over the loo and it comes up with ease and then I feel much better!

 

[grom]

So sorry to hear your sad news Ricky.
Take care

No you have too much fill sweetie, go back and get a little taken out as you might dehydrate.
