I think something is wrong

Good morning OH...hoping all is well with everyone. I had open gastric bypass on 12/01/2008 and it went great...no complications and weight loss was great. I have put back on a significant amount of weight but no where near what I was and I refuse to beat myself up about it.. I am onlyhuman. However, that is not why  i am posting today. I have been having these vomiting episodes...i think perhaps i may be eating too fast or too much not quite sure but I get this extremely uncomfortable feeling after eating sometimes...usually if it is meat/poultry/veggies....i become extremely nauseated and it is painful ..it is so hard to describe...it is also very painful....its like intervals of excess pain maybe i get 30-45 secs pain free. i start to salivate excessively. it feels as if i have gas and need to belch/burp but iam unable to do so and if i try to swallow back trying to vomit i vomit up very thick globs of saliva....more like mucus but it is clear????......the pain continues and it is unbearable until i have to stick my finger down so i can vomit the food up... I know this is gross but i figure this wpuld be the best place to ask a ?? like this...please reply on any thoughts or opinions you may hae regarding this....it will be greatly appreciated

I think you answered your own question. It does sound exactly like what happens when you eat too fast. Start practicing taking smaller bites and chewing well - just like when we were newly pre-op. If this doesn't help, I'd put in a call to the surgeon. Good luck to you!

You could also have a stricture.  I've had several over the years.  You can get them at anytime.  I would check with the doc.

what is a stricture?

 A stricture is when the opening in the pouch closes up.  Food gets stuck.  It is very easily opened up again.  It does sound like you have one.

Thanks so much to those of you who took the time to reply ....I appreciate it

It does sound very much like a stuck food episode to me.  Could be caused by eating too fast, too much, not chewing well enough or a stricture. It can also be caused by certain types of foods.  For me, any attempt at eating pasta does it to me so I avoid that like the plague.  Steamed broccoli and cauliflower does it too.
