Stuck or Gas?



Recommended Posts

This morning at approx 3:45 am. i was woke up with a sharp pains through the middle of my back to the front and a cold sweat. first thing i thought of was slipping, then gas, then stuck. Everyone on here says you really cant explain the feeling and i now understand what they are talking about. i reviewed everything i had eaten. i ate late last night so about 8:30 i got to eat. I made the most moist turkey burgers with an apricot glaze. moist and fork tender. i took my small bites i waited almost an hour before i had a drink of anything. but about 6 hours later i was begging God to relieve me of this pain. i tried child birth breathing techniques, pacing, tums and prayer and nothing subsided this pain. i got online and searched on here for stuck episodes and i truly believe that is what happened. i think i did not chew a couple bites properly and i found out what stuck really was. i walked, sipped Water everything i could do help this pass. all i could think about was thinking how my horses have felt when they collic. they just roll on the ground and grunt in pain. At about 5:30 my alarm went off and everything had passed and i fell straight back to sleep and over slept for work. But as they say once you go through that you never forget it and i personally dont ever wish to go back.

I dont exactly know why i wanted to share this. i normally encourage others accomplishments and cheer everyone on. but i have realized there is not anyone around me that know what i am talking about nor really cares. so if felt i needed to talk to someone or share this. cause i really dont feel good and i am going back to really mushy food for today. i realized last night i must have pushed the envelope a bit much. but i was hungry and it was so moist but i realized the purpose of the chew, chew, chew process loud and clear. I just hope this experience will help emphasize the importance of the ever pounding idea of chew chew chew.

hope everyone has a great day! :D

      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.
