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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
