Omg-Scary Stuck Episode Last Night



Recommended Posts

I NEVER EVER want to experience this again!

My husband had made an absolutely delicious ham bean Soup. I scooped out 1/2 a cup, and decided I was just puree it. While it didn't exactly look appealing, it was genuinely delicious. But then, stupid me, thought I would just try 2-3 ham pieces, and without thinking, ate them. I must not have chewed them very well, and BAM, they were stuck! Forgive me french, but holy shi*. I could feel it just stuck in the middle of my breast bone. I walked around, and around the house, tapping my chest. My poor 10 yr old kept asking are you OK. I replied, I will be. But, I wasn't, not right away.

Within minutes, I had tears, and eventually I threw it up. It was that lovely slime everyone has talked about, along with a little of the Soup. Sorry for the details guys. I was so scared. This isn't anything I want to visit ANY TIME again. Oh my God! I was so upset with myself, and scared. Mind you, I'm allowed to eat solids as I'm 1+ month post op with 1 fill.

Lessson learned? You bet...... CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEWCHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW

Have I made myself clear?

OMG I am so sorry, I have not had this and hope I never will...I am day 11 today and I pray pray that never happens even though everyone says I will at some point. Thank you for the details as I have been asking what exactly happens when something is stuck.....Dang! Take care!

I have been there! At least you were home. I was in a restaurant eating and talking and laughing and I wasn't paying attention to my chews. I knew when I swallowed I had a problem. Excused myself went to a public restroom praying please no tears and all it came out fast thankfully I returned scared to eat and taking tiny bits. Wow o wow! I learned to concentrate when I eat. If I'm going to talk I can't eat fork down :)

Been there, done that many times. I get distracted by someone talking to me or watching TV.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
