"Stuck" on nothing!! HELP?!



Recommended Posts

couple months ago I had all my Fluid removed due to a possible slip. Upper GI showed my band was still in the correct place, but suergon said that it is still possible that it slipped and only time will tell as we refill my band. I had my second fill (since the complete unfill) about 2 weeks ago, and have been doing fantastic! No, PB, sliming, etc. I have been a LITTLE bit hungry between meals, but nothing that I couldnt just ignore. lunch yesterday was fine, I at a small amount (about 1/3-1/2 cup from a chinese buuffet that our supervisor took us out to) with no issues. I ate a small dinner last night and every thing went perfectly.

This morning I got up (felt fine) and drank some Water. Started having some discomfort and by the time I got to work (about an hour after I drank a few oz of water) I was sliming. I fought and fought it, but finally gave in and brought it back up.

I just tried drinking some hot sugar free coca. Much of the time if Im stuck a warm liquid will help, and this is what I had accessible to me at work. After a few sips, Im sliming again. I fought it for about 20 min, and gave in....

Im so lost, Ive been doing so well, being super careful with my intake, bites, calories, carbs, fat, Protein... and here I am again! I cant swallow liquids!

Any guidence? Words of encouragement? Something? Anything?

Well.............giggle, some days are diamonds and well................you know. I giggle only because I am sitting here and just got done with a sliming episode. Yesterday I ate fine. This morning I got something stuck and lunch was a no go. I've got my band pretty tight so if anything irritates my band then I pretty much have to be careful the next day. Sorry your going through that.

I dont understand why people will not call their doctors with these issues. It really isnt anything to play around with and waiting for answers on here. Call him/her they have to take your call if its urgent. Do it now.

Trish, Thanks for the support.

Sanction-- I didnt call right away, because I had nothing to tell. Everything has been fine, I hadnt eaten anything to be stuck. It hadnt been long enough for me to become dehydrated. I continued sipping Water after I posted this and guess what?! It started going through just fine. Matter of fact, I even ate a late lunch! So, all is well. Possibly I was just a too tight this morning due to swelling (I tend to be tighter in the AM-just not so tight I cant drink Water. So, it was a kinda of freak thing... But all is good now! I have every intention of bring this up to my surgeon, but dont feel the need to call him on a Saturday when there is NOTHING wrong.

So while I appreciate you taking the time to respond, you could have left the condescending comment out of that. A simple "Maybe, you should call your surgeon, I worry that you may be becoming dehydrated...." would have sufficed. Next time you feel the need to comment in that tone, please restrain yourself. Thank you.

You asked for HELP and I told you to call your surgeon so I am being condescending. Well next time you yell Im STUCK HELP dont sound like your desperate for help. Say well maybe this is the cause of the problem. I wasnt being nasty since you know me so well.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
