When I purge I find that for some reason now what I ate first always come up first? It used to be what I ate last will come up and then the food I ate first would always be the last. Now it's so hard to tell if I've got everything out because in a binge I forget about what I ate and I never know if I've got most up...

Well your stomach does a fair job of mixing up everything and smooshing it all together so ..
I've never really paid attention to this myself .

Yah i always used to think that when it came out it came out in order, I am slowly realising that this is very much not the case. I just go by if all thats coming up is liquid, thats when i know im really done with everything.
I find that always the "light" food comes out first. Like fruits and vegetables. Heavy, carby stuff last.
yeah i purged about an hour ago and the first thing that came up was a hummus wrap with spinach that i ate as a normal meal around 4 hours prior. so weird
It's gravity.
What's more dense (carbs)will sink. Food that has more water (veggies) will rise.
Obviously there has to be time for it to shift and fluid to facilitate it. If you are a bunch of broccoli and the Mac and cheese without drinking anything all day it likely will stay basically divided. If you drink fluids while eating the Mac and cheese will sink so whatever the order broccoli will come up first.
You can see this if you put food in a blender for a few moments and then let it sit for a while it will separate.

it's usually what i last ate, but i usually end binges with liquidy foods like smoothies or ice cream, so that probably affects it
lol side note but this gets me all the time. mushrooms are such floaters -_- I eat them in my eggs for breakfast and then they come up with my dinner... lol makes me sad cause I actually like to try & keep the nutritious stuff down
way gross tmi but
i find that whatever i last ate comes up first, because it's usually still in my esophagus lol. but after that it's definitely a crapshoot.

mine seems all mixed together and thats why I like to eat food that has differen't colours so I can identify what I am puking up , sorry its gross but its my way and it works for me.
It's because chocolate is mostly oil. Think of how oil spills just cover the surface of water, basically what's going on in your stomach.
But... In that case it should come out first? *confused*
Is'nt it becouse its very dence so it "sinks to the bottom"?
It depends. Most of the time the liquid and softer foods come up first. That's because the solid and dense foods sink to the bottom of your stomach. So if you eat the softer foods first, and the solids last, then it could be coming up in the order you ate them.
