Stuck Or Something Else...??



Recommended Posts

OK veterans... I was banded Mid August. I'm down about 30 lbs since being banded. Last night after I ate some chili at the Trunk or Treat I felt the feeling I had right after surgery of being bloated and full of gas. I did my arm movement and was able to do some PB'ing, but that also led to a sharp pain( ok not sharp, but dull ache) in my band area. Drinking intensifies the ache. I also feel so full I feel like I'm going to pop. I didn't have more than 3/4 chili I thought I chewed well. I had a few pcs of tortilla chips on top but I crushed them up we are talking about less than 2 full chips. The chili was kind of dry though. I burped as much as I could last night. No feeling of nausea or otherwise. I went to bed changing positions made no difference. This morning 12 hrs later I didn't have the dull ache but I still felt so full it was not funny. I drank a hot tea for my morning meal so to speak. I'm onto lunch and still full. a little dull ache but no pain. I got some Soup for lunch but have no desire to eat.

Does this sounds like a stuck episode or maybe a slip? any thoughts?

to me it just sounds like you didnt chew the ground been enough or maybe you did but your band is like mine and doesnt care for ground beef. I dont think its serious but I am not a Dr so if you are concerned I would call the office.

Is slipping that common I haven't read a lot about it on here. because it came on so suddenly I would think it was stuck and now it is irrated. I would keep drink hot tea today and if still a problem tomorrow give a call to doctor. line dancer

Sounds like you ate to much , it's a gassy food . I wouldn't eat for awhile why eat if you are not hungry? Drink as much as you can and I think if you feel bad tomorrow call the Dr it doesn't sound like a slip and it not sounding like a stuck either. Good Luck

Thank you everyone I did get my Soup down. After I got it down the ache disappeared and my tummy started grumbling greatly. Whatever it was its gone. I had planned on calling the dr tomorrow if it continued.

Slips are not that common. Believe me, if you had a slip, you would not feel well during the night. Generally, they cause GERD during the night. I was very uncomfortable, and surgeon suggested not eating after 8pm. That did me no good. It doesn't usually come from one stuck,tho' Best wishes,Karen

      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.
