I just plain can not puke - ThinnerTimes

Sorry about the title, but it's true.
I only once did it, and it was a complete miracle.. You might say, that is good, you don't puke right? wrong

There has been some times I feel so sick I feel I am going to throw up, and It hurts and it feels like I need to, and I get the nauscea, and all the attempts to do so, bring nothing!!, nothing comes up, just heave and sometimes foam comes up, but I so much need relief during this times and I get nothing.

When I went on my trip, I got like that once, in the hotel that night, and I could not get relief, and I ended up burning up a great big fever of the nausea and all that, and finally went to bed, to toss and turn and moan until I went to sleep, when I woked up I was fine.

What you do when you feel like this and it just don't happen? By then my pouch was empty I feel, but tried drinking some water to rinse it out and get the feeling moving out and don't help

I do not go like this every day, or even every week, but I have been there 4 or 5 times since my surgery and It's just plain misserable

As I am still battling the psychological aspect of being obese, I have eaten too fast a few times and got the same feeling you are talking about. However, I feel like I need to burp as well. When I keep making myself try to burp, the food comes out. Also, I have to stand up in front of the toilet instead of kneeling/sitting. Otherwise, nothing comes up. (TMI, I know)

I have done this 3 times now and it has always been from eating too fast (and thus eating too much even though I chew everything to a pulp). I always feel so mad at myself and guilty that I am not using my pouch right. I really need to get a therapist so I can keep on top of this mentally.

Maybe just try to slow down and listen to your body - if we do this we will stop eating before we get to the pukeing point. I know this is what I try to keep in my mind while I am eating. I find it hard to concentrate on eating correctly instead of just stuffing food down my throat, but it's getting better.

I hope this helps!

I just experienced this same thing tonight! Awful!!! Doesn't happen often...but I too can not make myself puke (couldn't pre-op either)...I did puke once time post op and it was such a relief.

And the one time I did get sick I had to stand by the toilet bent at the waist pretty much like drummer girl mentioned.

When feeling like this DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING! It only makes it worse.

Tam thats funny you say that .. cause when I get this feeling if I take a drink of water ... I am for sure gonna puke.. but I have to stand by the toliet.. not kneel o r crouch. I get this way sometimes but I can finally puke.... mabe I eat to fast.. I just try and focus.. it has kind of made shy to eat in public at all just in case... I finally started eating a few more solids this weekend .. some tomato soup.. and some bean and bacan suop.. ( i only ate the beans).. about 3 OZ of both... thats alot for me ...
