When that churning ocean of sickness in your stomach finally leaves your body in a massive, ab-clencing heave, it sort of feels like a rebirth. Your headache instantly disappears, you chug a glass of water, and then all is well in the world again.
AWESOME!

Man, I haven’t puked in freakin 5 years….is something wrong with me?!
February 17, 2010 at 10:07 am
Nope. It’s been 35 years and counting for me. I made a decision in 1975 that I would never get sick again. So far so good…

Not puked in 5 years? I puke, more or less, every sunday afternoon, which I can tell you doesn’t help the headache one bit.
Still feels epic though.

really? I have severe migranes every… month, and everytime i puke, it goed away for 10 seconds.
I love the moment after puking because of the lack of suicidal-thoughts-giving-excruciating-pain!

Unfortunately for me the “Awesome!” of this feeling is more than balanced out by the taste in my mouth that remains for hours.
Luckily it’s a loooooooooong time since I vomited.

She’s got a pretty firm grip on the toilet. Hope she uses a strong
germicide afterwards…

It’s not awesome if you’re drunk…

Usually it feels good for like 5 minutes until the vomit feeling builds up again and then its back to square one. This could go on for hours. There is that moment though when you just finished vomitting that feels awesome. I mostly puke from drinking though so its never that awesome.

I went for a decade without vomiting, but then I turned 19, which at the time was the drinking age in WY. I can attest though, that illness related vomiting incidents is maybe one or two times in twenty years. I just don’t get sick.

It’s the BEST when you’re drunk.
As one friend once said, drunk puking is the best, cause it makes room in your stomach for more!
You run into the bathroom, get it all out and then you’re ready to go all over again…
AWESOME.

Puke and rally.
AWESOME.
November 13, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Ok… I do love that feeling in a sick post drinking kinda way.
November 14, 2008 at 10:20 am
I have to disagree. Not awesome.
Luckily, I haven’t puked in a long time.
November 14, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Not awesome, not at all. Of course I puke until I dry heave 5+ times. Every muscle in my chest and stomach hurt.
For you guys who haven’t hurled get small kids in public school. They always bring “extra” presents home. awesome (please read that awesome in all lower case with the bitterness it deserves)

Totally agree with this one. It feels euphoric; it’s almost like you’re floating. Too bad your breath reaks of vomit though. Totally ruins the moment.
November 17, 2008 at 3:11 pm
That is sooooo true yet again. Better not make it a habbit though. LOL However it’s nice to know other people feel that way too. =)
November 17, 2008 at 5:51 pm
It really does feel good… unless you follow it up with more puking
January 17, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Yeah it does feel epic, but the stomach acids burns your throat.
April 22, 2009 at 11:57 am
The drunk puke is the best because you feel full, you get dizzy and disoriented and then BAM!!!! You run to the back yard, you bend over, you make sure your hat stays on your head and you just let all hell break loose on the poor bushes. Once you finish you wipe all of the snot, tears and puke from your face, you walk back into the house like nothing ever happened, grab a beer and continue with your epic night!
May 13, 2009 at 8:28 am
I love it.
May 13, 2009 at 12:38 pm
And then you notice the popped blood vessels around your eyes and know anyone looking closely will know you yacked in the last 24 hours.

Assuming that the puke ends up going where you want it to go – into the toilet rather than almost into the toilet, out your mouth instead of out your nose, onto the ground instead of onto your lap. It makes a difference.

Although I love this blog, this has to be my LEAST favorite thing ever. I got into a bout a few years ago in which I threw up EVERY thirty minutes for about a day. It was terrible. After throwing up, my stomach muscles ached and I just wanted to cry because it was so awful.
But I can understand the feeling, because vomiting is the body’s way of ridding “INTRUDERS!!” from the stomach. If they are successfully ejected from the body, then a positive feeling would be natural, for one has defended the gates to the metaphorical castle.

Last year (’08) I had some tuna mixed with broccoli before I went to bed. When I hit the sack I felt fine, then I woke up and felt less then fine. I was sweating and had a fever. My stomach hurt,but it wasn’t unbearable, not sure if I was going to shit or puke. Fifteen minutes later my temperature spiked and I new the eleven year hiatus was up. Out it came, all over the side of my bed. I walked towards my bathroom and puked in front of the doorway. Spent the next hour cleaning it up,but felt happy as a clam that the suffering was over. Went back to bed at six and didn’t awaken till four in the afternoon.
What I hate about puking is the the convulsion before you do it, feels like someone is pulling your abdomen as fast as they can and taking the air out of your body.
Wash your hands before you eat and eat well. My diet was pretty shitty at the time, I drank a lot of pop and I think, I could be wrong, it made it worse then it might have been if I was healthy and hydrated.

Damn! I’m emetophobic and i’ll never know what does it feels…

Once I looked up what the heck that was, I’m not so sure if it’s a terrible thing. Think of the lack of damage to your teeth and throat, no 3 am vomit cleanings, and never having to taste something bad twice.
August 14, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Does the fear of vomiting actually mean you’ll never experience it? I mean, the mind is strong – but in a severe situation, mayn’t biology trump the mind?
March 3, 2010 at 1:38 am
Drunk puking is nice because there is no gag reflex, just one heaaavvveeee!!! and you’ve vomitted.. it was oh so easy. If you are stone-cold sober you over think it and start to have those little tiny heaves and the suspense builds as you hover over the bowl.. but drunk puke does not mess around its just, turn and barf and that’ll do it!
March 19, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I saw picture of a cat sitting on a guy thats barfing.
I’m gonna have some major abs when I finally get done with this since i’m laughing so hard at some of these.
April 22, 2010 at 8:54 am
I believe that picture is a girl, not a guy. But most of the time unless it is a lengthy virus or something I feel much better after I puke. I can crawl back into bed and rest, maybe drink some pedialyte, and work my way back to eating something. The lengthier viruses I hate because I just feel crappy, I can’t puke, or don’t I just sit there feeling miserable knowing it’s going to happen but unable to force it and I can’t sleep, I’ve ended up sleeping in the bathroom, one time at girl’s camp I did that in the camp bathroom, cold cement bench, it was awful, because I’d go in puke, and then tried to go back to bed and I still felt nauseated. Now, I force myself to vomit with my finger just so I can get some relief. If the bug doesn’t come out the first time I’ll get a small break and try again when I can feel the need.
March 24, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I have ALWAYS thought this was awesome. Even if you feel like crap all day, when you throw up, you know the worst of it’s over and all you feel is coolness and clarity.
April 19, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Some folks hate to puke; me, to get rid of nausea I’ll go yell WHARF RAT! anytime.
July 16, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Meh, I dunno about you, but I often faint after I toss my cookies. That part’s not awesome.
July 18, 2010 at 10:52 am
I hate puking. I had one of those pregnancies where you vomit every hour on the hour for 8 months, and when you know it’s coming back in 55 minutes you lose that moment of “Ahhh.”
