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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
