Oh No!!! What Do I Do?? Please Help!

[Bamabander 111]

Had surgery 5/29. Still on full liquids. I can have any blended Soup so I made homemade veg beef. The roast was done and cooled and as I pulled it apart I mindlessly ate 2 shreds... Ya know how when beef roast falls apart they make shreds... Well I ate 2 at the same time and really didn't chew well. I was tasting it like always to see what spices I need to add. What should I expect. Will I be ok? Do I need to call the doc? I'm very worried!!

I think your tummy will tell you if you need to call the doctor or not. I would definitely push fluids though to make sure the roast beef gets through the band and swelling okay. We had surgery the same day, so I'm no expert!

Ok so far so good... I'm waiting and drinking lots of Water. I hope I didn't hurt anything. I'm feeling so much better I completely forgot... I know that sounds weird, old habits will be harder to break than I expected

I dont know how the sleeve works versus the band, but I would think by now, if you were going to have an issue you would have had it. its been 20 minutes since you posted, so you gotta be good to go by now!

Glad you are feeling so good! I never thought about munching and cooking. I will have to look out for that old habit too!

Im banded with plication. When I started I thought I was going to get the sleeve but my insurance requires a bmi of 50 for sleeve. So I had to choose between bypass and band... Bypass scares me!

I really am glad that I have the band. I feel so much better today, maybe tired still but much better on the pain. Thanks for responding!

Good luck bama. It sounds like you're fine now. Totally true about old habits!

If you have any papaya enzyme or pinaple juice I would take them to try and digest the meat. At this point it is very bad for you stomach to grind to digest solids.

Do not worry about it any more. If it got stuck you would know it so you will be just fine! Also,if you had something stuck and started drinking Water, that is not so great as the water will just come back up.
