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.

      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.
