Foof gets stuck??



Recommended Posts

I've never been stuck. It isn't inevitable, though it could be I'm a rarity.

Thanks for all the replies about foofing! lol Okay-one more question -when food gets stuck and you need to vomit does that mean you need to force yourself to vomit (fingers down throat) or that you suddenly feel like you have to vomit? Is it just a quick vomit or are you over the toilet barfing. I know it's a gross question, but I need to know what I'm in store for! Thanks again everyone!

Sometimes I wait it out and see if it will go down. Slime will come, and come, and come. Sometimes I can hang over the toilet and work my stomach muscles and work the stuck item up and out. Other times to speed things up I do the finger down the throat thing. Being stuck is quite painful. I want it over with as soon as possible.

Another cure is to drink down a glass of Water quickly, this will bring everything back up and out, without any retching.

I can also work my stomach and get the stuck item out, I dont mean to sound negative, I guess I am, my only issue is i wish someone had been honest with me before surgery, I read and read and read , talked to my doctor and I was told, "sliming from getting stuck rarely happens"....BS!!!! I just feel like I was cheated on facts, whatever you choose you have the knowledge you need :)

      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.
