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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
