Stuck feeling??/



Recommended Posts

I've seen some people post about the "stuck" feeling. I'm wondering if someone can describe the feeling and what signifiance it has. I have been eating (10 days post now) and I keep getting this feeling of a ball like "stuck" feeling just above where my port is. Any ideas?

For those of you who have had the stuck feeling....do you wait a bit to see if it passes or automatically try to make yourself throw up? I am terrible at trying to make myself throw up but I tried and failed. Now I'm kind of waiting and drinking a lot of Water. Thoughts?

It usually passes in 10-30 minutes. When I have thrown up it was "easy" and painless. But, everybody is different.

Try tiny sips of Water but don't gulp or chug. Sometimes the water helps move the stuck food along. But not always.

It feels like you swallowed a matchbox car. Sometimes it passes but it hurts. Sometimes it jyst passes no hurt. Other times your mouth will Water then you have to bring it up which is easy because its still in your throat. I can just make like im gonna throw up and it just comes out. Im not sure if thats a pb. But thats what happens to me. I always get a stuck feeling in the morning if I try to eat before drinking something hot. Water goes down hard...But at night I can eat anything no prob...its weird.

      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.
