swimming and throwing up?

tenkides

Hi, Today I went swimming with my flippers on about 3 hours after eating dinner. I had drank 3 liters of water before swimming. I didn't do this on purpose. I threw up about an hour after start to swim. I got out immediately. I have been drinking water ever since. I was not sore or tired when I started. The whole time I swam i was sucking in my stomach. I am not sick or ill. Does anyone know why this happened? Please and thank you for posting.

3 liters of water right before you got in the water or over the course of the whole day?

Did you swallow any pool water?

I swim a lot and have never experienced such a thing...

Before i got in the water. I have drank 7.5 liters of water today. Maybe i don't think so.

Wait, why were you sucking in your stomach the whole time?

tenkides

To keep my stomach muscle contracted

Why are you drinking so much water?

m13a

That seems to me like a lot of water. Why so much?

Kalikel

How did you accidentally drink 3L of water?

No, nobody knows why you threw up.

If you drank 3L of water very quickly, that might be the reason. Your body might've been saying, "Don't need this, thanks anyway, you can have this back!"

But there is no way for anyone to diagnose you online.

Not eating ( well netting negative and very low like only 200 which is normal for you it seems) and drinking so much water can result in throwing up indeed.

You better eat some more food and drink less water. Or not burn so much calories.

BWBTrish

btw this is the reason i dont train/swim on a empty stomach...because i throw up too. I have to eat normally and afterwards i am very hungry so i eat too.

tenkides

I drink that much because I am trying to drink less soda so I'm substitute. Not the water before. I was meaning the pool water.

BWBTrish

well i gave you the reason ( which i think it is) EAT!!!
And dont net a couple hundred negative. You train 1100 to 1300 calories and you only eat for between 900 to 1100.

Like i said you throw up because you have no food in you at all!

What are you talking about?

The 3L that you didn't drink on purpose - was it an accidental drinking of 3L?

And what about the pool water?

Please read your posts like we do, like you are trying to understand them without any background.

You accidentally drank 3 liters of pool water while swimming? Are you imitating a basking shark?

No, he accidentally drank 3L of water BEFORE swimming.

I ate dinner only a couple hours before and I have drank that much water before and not throw up.

Go to the hospital. Tell them this story, they'll put you on the right unit.

If you drank 3L or water on top of dinner and tried to exercise, that could cause a LOT of people to throw up.

That is a LOT of water. That's more than a day's worth for normal levels of exercise:

I don't know where the water intoxication line is, but 7 liters sounds in the really-not-good-high range.

That alone could cause you to vomit:

If you're regularly drinking more than 3L a day, and you're sure that number is right, you should talk to a doctor--sooner rather than later.

BWBTrish

I told you before that what you were doing was bad...the swimming with the flippers for an idiot long time as 3 hours
You are not eating properly...what do you expect?

This was bound to go wrong!
Sorry that i am so harsh
But people this girl nets NEGATIVE she swims for hours and hours and hours and dont eat any of her calories back

You pumped your stomach full of 3 litres of water within a short time-frame (BAD IDEA), and then swam, which is already a core-heavy exercise, while contracting your stomach. Your stomach was getting a lot of aggravation and just weird and unnatural activity, so it freaked out.

Don't do anything like this again!

BWBTrish

Please seek professional help!!!

tenkides

Yes im sure. I drink out of the same water bottle every day.

Yes, please clarify what you mean here. You drank pool water? You almost drowned? What happened?

MamaBirdBoss

To other posters......there have been people who have OCD-like routinely drunk huge amounts of favored drinks. A woman died of it recently: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/02/12/woman-dies-from-drinking-10-liters-coke-day-coroner-says/ So it's distantly possible that she's drinking that much.

OP: Are you sure that's not GLASSES of water? You're really sure it's LITERS? Because that is VERY dangerous, if it is.

BWBTrish

Her todays total calories are 1,127

And her burned calories are 1500 of swimming

BWBTrish

she nets -383!!!!!!

No wonder she gets sick

BWBTrish

She swom after dinner
which was 5 tater tots, 1.5 oz chicken breast and a glass of V8

She needs professional help

I'm still trying to figure out how someone accidentally drinks 3 liters of water.

And netting only 50 calories a day while doing 1200-1500 calories of cardio every day, I hope your goal is to get sick because that's about the only thing it's going to accomplish.

tenkides

I drank water before I swam. I never drowned or anything like that. I had stopped for a minute to breathe when I threw up. I only swim for 60min or less by the way. Look at my diary if you think im not eating right. Then tell me I'm not eating right.

not even that she nets negative

She posted before what she is doing....she swims for hours ( about 3) with flippers about 1000 to 1500 calories per excercise. And only eat between 900 to 1000 calories per day.
She drinks a lot of water.
So yes that goes wrong.

MamaBirdBoss

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I looked at your food diary, too.

I don't know for sure what you weigh. But I'm betting you're in the lower half of the healthy range, given that MFP is telling you to eat 1200 calories by default--I can't really see how else you could get that.

If that's the case, your deficit is absolutely too high. Even if you have it set to losing half a pound a week, it's way too high. You aren't losing fat anymore. You're losing muscle, organs, brain.

Your body can only mobilize fat at a certain rate. If you don't have enough fat to mobilize (and you can only mobilize 27 calories a day or so from an entire pound of fat), your body starts attacking all your other mass to make up the difference. You can end up with brain damage!!!

Given your extreme levels of exercise, I have a feeling that you're already at the low end of healthy at the highest. This isn't good. You're killing yourself.

Stop. Get help. Please. I mean this in the kindest way possible.
