Waking up choking



Recommended Posts

I had my band in Sept 2010 and the night before last I woke up choking... It was soo scary.. I've since had Fluid taken out and have been on a soft diet since, but my chest still hurts.. I vomited twice after choking.. I think it was a combination of reflux and eating before bed... I'm just hoping the pain subsides and it's nothing serious. In the 2 1/2 years since I've had my band I've only had about 7 vomiting episodes. This is all new to me.

I woke up early this morning and ate something went back to sleep and woke up choking. It is important to not eat close to the time you go to sleep. It is such a scary feeling. Please also call your doctor. Be healthy!

Your exactly right it is reflux and especially if you ate before bed. Try not to eat that close to bedtime. Do you take any reflux meds?? If not you might want to discuss that with your doc.

I started taking anti-inflammatories for a back injury that has gotten progressively worse over the years.. Apparently they make your system produce more acid. Not to mention I was trying to be good and up my Water intake but neglected to remember lemons are highly acidic and should not have added then to my water, Esp after 6pm ... Needless to say, I won't be doing that again and have started taking prevacid... Thanks ladies! Xoxo

Are you saying you've been taking NSAIDs? Ibuprofen, aleve, even aspirin are NSAID medications and they cause a thinning of the protective lining of the stomach which can lead to erosion. Best to get yourself checked out, ASAP. :)

      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.
