Can you get stuck with in the Full liquid Stage??



Recommended Posts

Is getting stuck something that happens only when you start eating solid foods or can you get stuck by overfilling on liquids as well. I have already realized what full feels like and a little too full feels uncomfortable but not sure what stuck is. One night I had major pain in my throat and stomach after eating Soup and some gold fish crackers-but I really dont know what caused that because even the crackers were really mushy. I ate at about 9 pm(maybe to late) and then went straight to bed. Woke up at midnight with the worst pain in my chest and wanted to throw up but couldnt-To make a long story short I ended up sleeping sitting up on the couch. Can anyone describe stuck and when it happens to you? Can it happen during the full liquid stage?

Yes you can get stuck on liquids, so to speak. If the hole at the bottom is very small, drinking too much will result in the liquid sitting in your esophagus rather than your stomach. Some people can tolerate this. Most cannot.

The goldfish crackers were probably what you got stuck on, even if they were incredibly mushy. When you wash dishes in the sink even the smallest amount of solid in the trap makes the Water not drain well. Your stomach is the same way.

Did your nutritionist or surgeon approve Goldfish crackers on a full liquid diet? I don't think they qualify as a full liquid, even if you do let them soak up the liquid and get mushie.

Be careful, don't hurt yourself. You've been through so much, don't risk it by pushing the limits now.

Gentle hugs and best wishes for your total success!

I have had times when I couldn't keep down protien shakes. Usually after a fill. Now I know if it starts giving me that pain in my chest that tells me I've had enough, I take a break and sip very slowly.

In my paper work it said that after 2 weeks I could break up crackers in my soup....didnt say what kind. Gold fish was all I had and was craving something salty different than soup....after that I went out and bought premium crackers. Im now on my first week of solids....havent had any problems since....going for my first fill on the 15th.:thumbdown:

If you did goldfish and then liquid you could have gotten stuck. I find that goldfish sort of gum up.

      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.
