    Default will not stop throwing up....

    I had my surgery back in July 15. Current weight loss is 103 pounds. Happy with that but... a couple of weeks ago I thought that this had stopped but this past week I have thrown up 6 days out of 7 and starting to get worried. When I throw up, the first thing is a white mucus like substance every time then some food will come up also having problems with bowel movements and unable to have a BM without the help of Ducolax once a week. So throwing up every day and only able to have a BM once a week with help. Anyone else having these issues?

    From what I am seeing on the web could this be from eating too fast? I can undertannd that about the vomiting but the BMs have me stumped.

    that does not sound normal or healthy.

    I would certainly consult my surgeon or pcp about this

    You should consult your doc and a nutritionist. That being said are you drinking enough fluids? Are you eating enough food (proteins) to produce a BM at least every few days? I had my surgery in May and even now if I eat too quickly or not chew my food well enough I will get a response from my body. The response is that a lot of phlegm and I will spit it up - but not vomit. If I were to eat more then it would happen. Also I notice that if I eat too much I will begin to sneeze 4-6 times! I have learned that this is what the body does prior to vomiting. As for the BM.. make sure that you are drinking fluids and exercising to keep your bowels in working order. Since we are taking in smaller amounts of food I wouldn't expect a BM daily but every couple of days. For sure if you are in pain or have painful elimination do see your doctor. Good luck.



    This was the best thing I ever did for myself!!!
