I vomiting a lot during the first few months after my surgery. Mostly I was nauseous from not getting enough protein. If I'd listened to my doctor and gotten the protein I was supposed to, I probably would have felt a lot better. I am more than 7 months out now, and I still vomit occasionally. Usually it's if I eat to much or eat too fast. Sometimes I eat things that don't agree with me. It's usually something with lots of fat or sugar. You are supposed to avoid that stuff after surgery. Yesterday I ate some potato soup, and I paid a price for it. For the most part, though, I am able to eat without vomiting.
I look great since I've lost 85 pounds. I am not pale, and I don't look ill.
Many people are misinformed about WLS. Don't listen to them.
As far as having children, many people have children after WLS. Check out the stories in the pregnancy forum of this site.
