Question

Has anyone ever been sick all day from getting something "stuck" at breakfast? After that happening to me, I vomited everything I ate and drank for the rest of the day and felt very low energy. Is this normal? I am about 3 and half week's post op. Thanks.

Yes, this has happened to me. As an old bulimic, even sticking my finger down my throat didn't help--I'd ruined my gag reflex from too much bingeing and purging.

I hope you got the message from your tiny tummy that you just can't put more food down the pipe without risking a clog. And your food has to be chewed, like Mom used to say, 32 times per bite.

It's almost as miserable a feeling as dumping. And I'm so sorry you had to learn this the hard way.

Thanks for the reply. I bought a food chopper until I know i have the hang of it. This might sound weird but most of my life I have barely even chewed before swallowing and need to practice but I never want to go through that again.
