I'm still having trouble keeping food and water down. It seems like either every other day- of everyday I'm throwing up at least once. I'm taking it slow with new foods and I'm trying to mush before swallowing...but it's wearing me down. What the hell am I doing so wrong? HELP!

Hey Snow,
It sounds like a problem with your surgery. I would definately have that checked. I have never thrown up, not once. I was operated on in September.

Call your suergon. The food is one thing, but not keeping water down is another. CALL HIM!

still call the Dr. but I have another suggestion for you.

Even if you think you have reduced the size of your bites and sips as far as they can be reduced, reduce them again.

Also maybe you are waiting too long between, It sounds like to me that your pouch is reacting to the change of being empty to being full too fast!

Your Dr. does need to know though, call them.
God Bless!

Call your doc. I had/have the same issue and mine is a blockage cause by scar tissue around the opening from the pouch to the intestine.

I've had one Endoscopy to stretch the opening and going in for a second tomorrow.

You could read more about it in my journal.

I am over 4 months out and once in a while I still throw up just yesterday I had a piece of pear and up it came instantly but I would call my surgeon and check with him anyway.
Good luck Tim.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
