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.

      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.
