Pink8671 1 Posted February 3, 2013 I took my Iron pill FRI night and didn't drink much Water with it obviously. I started feeling sick about 5 min later. I threw up not by choice and felt better.... Next day Sat I felt extremely tight. Barely got any food down all day even after drinking warm liquids. It helped but heaviness was still in the bottom of my throat. I had to resort to Protein Shakes which I think eventually came up later that night. I could taste the iron pill in mu vomit. Today, sun still same feeling. Didn't sleep well due to that pressure feeling. Ate a spoon full of Peanut Butter. How can I get unstuck???!!! What can help? Why hasn't it dissolved yet?? HELP!!

Jenilou78 31 Posted February 3, 2013 Try a couple of hours of slowly sipping hot liquids, don't overdo it. If it hurts bad enough today to page your Dr do it, otherwise I would do liquids only til tomorrow and call. Please don't wait. 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted February 3, 2013 You're not still stuck, that pill is long gone by now. You've probably just irritated your stomach from the stuck episode and throwing up. I would go onto liquids for 24 hours to give it time to calm. If you're still having problems after that, I'd call your surgeon. 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pink8671 1 Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks so much for advice. I have had no real sleep but actually feel better. I don't feel that heavy feeling as much. I have been coughing and then a lot of liquid coming up at the same time. It tastes exactly like that pill I took. Maybe it's trying to calm down now. Hopefully I can keep done warm liquid in me and Protein Shakes for the day. Once again thanks! First time mommy and I want to make sure my baby is getting all the nutrients he needs. I never had this problem before. 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl2586 3,053 Posted February 3, 2013 Didnt your doctor suggest to remove the Fluid out of your band while pregnant? In my experience as a child birth educator, all of my band patients had their fluid removed while pregnant so that their babies could get enough nutrition.

Baba Wawa 543 Posted February 3, 2013 I find that ice Water is helpful. I also take peppermint oil, 10 drops in the water. It helps with spasms, which might be what you're experiencing. Check with your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pink8671 1 Posted February 3, 2013 My dr said if I could eat normal amounts that it was fine. I have been able to eat normal until now. It started Fri with that pill. I don't know if now it's just extremely irritated and is the reason why not even fluids can stay down comfortably. I have been trying warm Water, maybe I will try ice water now. So far whatever I drink seems to go down but then just sit there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girlnpink03 3 Posted February 9, 2013 Don't drink Ice Water . It tightens everything up. Just go slow take a sip every ten mins that's what I have todo . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LanaLang 6 Posted February 9, 2013 Im not sure if this may help some but i always keep some ice cream in my freezer, and when i am stuck I eat a little bit of ice cream mixed with soda, like half a cup very slowly, and that helps the food to pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
