Stuck? Kind of stuck?



Recommended Posts

On Saturday I had some jam that had fruit pieces in it and a piece of peach slid down my throat before I could chew it. Curse you, slippery jam!:( The bit of fruit was just a little too big but it wasn't big enough to get royally stuck. There was a bit of PBing but the bit wouldn't come up. I even tried the large glass of Water trick to encourage it. PBing stopped and I assumed the bit had worked its way through. I still went to liquids afterwards because of potential swelling. Since then though, anything I put in my mouth, including liquids, hasn't really been sitting well. I feel vaguely nauseated most of the time. I had a couple of crackers today and that triggered the PBing, but again, I couldn't get the crackers up, just a whole lot of slime. I'm wondering if that bit of peach is still kicking around in my pouch refusing to come up or go down and is causing the problem.... kind of like a marble in an hour glass.

Is it possible to get a not quite stuck but not going through bit of food in your pouch? Suggestions other than the gasx or papaya enzyme?

I don't think it's likely that a little tidbit, not quite big enough to stick in your stoma, is still lingering in your pouch. I'd guess that you triggered some irritation, and that is the source of your continued discomfort.

That, and also perhaps that some of the foods you're choosing are less-than-ideal, particularly for a touchy pouch.

It's great that you went to liquids after the Cursed Slippery Jam Experience; I'd try to stick with soft foods (or even full liquids) for a couple of days to see if that helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
