that is exactly what i was thinking standing in there, LOL so gross. i tend to clean the toilets here right before i barf in them, heh.

 I have never gotten sick outside the home...have only thrown up once and it was on pork I made at home.

*knocks on wood*

It wasn't a public bathroom, but it was in a parking lot in Reno, NV.  I'd eaten a soft taco
(bad mistake--crunchy only!) and it got stuck.  I had to stand by the back bumper of my
car and heave (TMI, I know!) and I just knew people thought I was some drunk or other
rotten thing.  The only thing good was that it was late in the day so not too many folks
around.

 Ah, well, you live and you learn!

I am only 6 weeks out and have yet to puke in public. I have in fact puked 2 times at home right after taking my meds. I have now split them up into 3 different "sessions" with about 10 mins in between.

I had the melina band years ago and I learned early on to carry a  freezer zip lock baggie with me.  Saved me many a times when I knew I couldn;t get to the bathroom in time at public places. 

I also carry one with me now, but have not had to use it thankfully.  Gross I know.

My first restaurant puke was at about five months out.  We were in a small hometown place for breakfast.  I had a plate with eggs, sausage, and hash browns.  My plan was to eat the eggs, let the kids eat the sausage, and have one bite of hash browns for dessert.  I got about half the eggs down when I got "the feeling."  I went to the only bathroom in the place--occupied.  I grabbed the hostess and she took me to the staff bathroom.   It was only dry heaves and I felt better afterward but it was still not an overall good experience. 

stricture? what is that?

 A stricture is when the bottom of your new pouch heals up too tight where it is connected to the intenstines, I believe. It heals so tight that it can be hard at times to ge****er through, therefore making you vommit. It can be easily fix with an EDG procedure. You might try googling it to get better information that what I have given. 

 I was about 3 weeks out and just cleared to eat chicken, well chewed.  We went to KFC and I got a grilled drumstick.  I took a few bites and got that feeling and ran to the bathroom.  My daughter and boyfriend just sat there like it was a totally normal event.  Never said a thing.  That happen a few more times but fortunately I haven't gotten sick since I was about 2 months out.  Now I tolerate everything.

Mine was 2 months out. Went to Red Lobster order fish and their mashed potatoes. My husband ate the fish as his seconds and I took about 5 bites of the mashed potatoes... And spent 40 MINUTES in the bathroom with FOAMIES. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I felt horrible for my husband that had to sit by himself for that long, however, the waitress was wonderful and asked my husband if he wanted her to check on me. Haven't been back to RL since.
