Tonight was going good until I got these horrible stomach pains. I am on mushie foods. I encountered the "slime." I wanted to throw up so bad. I had a scrambled egg for dinner about 730pm. The stomach pains and nasty feeling started around 9pm. It is 1040pm and I still feel like crap. Of course I have every horrible senerio running through my mind. I had the heeves and slime twice. They were about 15 or 20 minutes apart. That was between 9 and 920... I just don't know what to think of it. I do have pains in my chest. I had pressure in my throat and the back of my toungue hurt. It was so wierd. Like I said I still feel horrible. I have the chills, I think that is nerves mostly. I feel dehydrated but don't feel like I can drink cause I don't think I could put anything in my mouth. I want to throw up cause I think I could feel better but nothing comes up. I don't think I have ever been stuck before. For all I know I could be experiencing that now. ?????? If anyone has any advice or anything please share.....

it sounds like the food is "stuck". some people can't eat eggs... you might be one of them : (

i think people take papaya enzyme pills that cut thru the stuck food. i've never tried it though.

walking helps... with the hands over the head too... to get rid of the tightness.

your band, i'm sure, is fine so try to relax about that but i know its scary!

I have no idea, but I am scared to eat scrambled eggs! I DO eat hard boiled eggs and have not had any problem with them.

I am going for a upper GI test tomorrow. I have been throwing up ior trying to throw up for 2 full days now. I have not had a fill yet and I went to see the surgeon yesterday and he took the 2cc out that he put in during surgery. He wants to check for possible band slippage. I am scared out of my mind now!

You said you're still on mushies? eggs of any kind weren't allowed for me until the soft foods stage. Could be too much too soon?

soft scrambled is on my list. So I am not sure what the deal is??

      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.

      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.
