swallowed a golf ball



Recommended Posts

I just had a fill 4 days ago. I am back on regular foods. was doing Soup, cottage cheese, apple sauce, slider foods i guess. Well yesterday i had a few bites of chicken breast and the first bite went down ok but then the second one felt like i swallowed a golf ball. I guess it felt like it was stuck. no pbing or slimming but it hurt real bad for about 5 minutes. then it just went away. Is that what stuck feels like? I had 2 slider burger patties for dinner with gravy last night and everything was fine. could the chicken have been to dry? It did have a small amount of BBQ Sauce on it i mean small amount. I have a freezer full of chicken so i hope it is not one of those foods i just can not eat. Please help me figure out what that pain was. oh yeah. I was afraid of the chicken so i was real sure to chew it til it was practicaly dissintegrated. i only have 3.5cc in my band.

I always have a hard time with chicken... especially white meat, so I very seldom eat chicken anymore because its not worth the discomfort to me. If I do eat it, I take bites so small...about the size of a pea and chew it like there is no tomorrow.

White chicken is very hard for me to swallow, and I avoid it. I can do the dark meat, as long as it's super tender. And, yes, that describes for me what "stuck" feels like.

That sounds like stuck to me! I avoid white meat chicken unless its in a chicken salad or boiled in chicken broth until it falls apart. Dark meat works well for me.

Yes Yes Yes... that is what stuck feels like. I have gotten stuck more than a couple of times... and you'd think I would have learned by now. I usually don't have any problems with chicken.... or really anything so long as I cut it into teeny tiny bites...and remember to eat SLOW... that's the hardest part for me.... eating S -L-O-W when I'm hungry. EVERY time I try to rush a meal, I end up in trouble. Yesterday while at work, I tried to quickly eat a piece of shrimp for lunch. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE!!! OMG... I couldn't eat anything solid for the rest of the day... The pain was nasty and there was nothing I could do to move it. I guess shrimp will be OFF my list for a while. Went back to mushies today, just to give my belly a rest from yesterday's trauma. Will definitely be more careful now after that one!!

Some days I notice I'm tighter than others.

      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.
