I'm 3.5 weeks post op, and ever since last Friday when ever I drink anything no matter how small of a sip/temp/water/protein shake anything! It goes down and gurgles back up and then back down again.

I just spoke with my surgeon, who I can't see because he is 8 hours away from where I live and he thinks I might be stuck on egg yolk. So he put me on liquids for another two weeks to see if it will pass. I don't really have any pain, just discomfort.

Wandering if anyone has had similar experience?

A few wks ago, I was was stuck on hot dog skin. and I felt miserable. I was hours away from home on a camping trip. When I spoke with my surgeon, he suggested that I take 1 table spoon of cooking oil and follow it with sips of hot tea. After doing this, I immediately felt better. Like in 2 minutes. My Dr had said, if I didnt feel better I should come to the hospital, but I felt better. The cooking oil was very nasty, but I followed the instructions and felt better. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone!

I really hope it doesn't take two weeks! What does it feel like to everyone to feel 'stuck'? It was a poach egg that I ate, and then all of a sudden I was coughing and tons of saliva came up but not really any food. It's such a horrible feeling! And I don't even have anything in my band.. I'm honestly terrified to get a fill.

I'm thankful that I'm not having any hunger pangs at all. But I'm so teary it's rediculous. I'm supposed to go back to work next Monday but I don't think I can.

I was always always getting stuck on eggs and egg whites and couldn't figure it out. It's a band approved food. Then I talked to my Dr and she said oh no, what happens is it acts like rubber. She would not recommend eating eggs to some people.

I had no idea! I was actually eatting eggs quite often too! I kind of feel like an idiot for not knowing, I was actually stunned when he told me it was the eggs. He said the yolk turns into a powder and it gets sticky? Who knows.

On my surgeons website, they have a big list of foods to eat and to avoid. So the things that are on there to eat like whole wheat bread, whole wheat Pasta, mashed potatoes, and EGGS. I told him I was just following the guide that was posted on the site, and what the NUT referred me too. And then today he told me to avoid all the sorts of foods so I don't get stuck.

It's becoming frustrating, but I guess it's the 'learning' part of the journey. I wish I just didnt have to find out the hard way.

Since I'm not a big egg eater I can't be helpful. On the couple of times I ate egg, it was scrambled.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
