First almost stuck episode.



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill on Monday and today I ate a peice of turkey and cheese for lunch and I guess I swallowed without chewing too good and I felt it go down weird. I took a sip of a drink and I felt the coldness trickle down with the food sooo weird. I'm just glad it passes down. Neverrrrrr want to get stuck lol.

I am so afraid of that! Still on liquids so it's not a concern quite yet.

My dr makes me do liquids for a few days after a fill. Maybe you should try that till the swelling goes down?

Ok how do you know something is stuck? I'm 9 days post-op and still on liquids but I'm curious. I hear it's painful, what are you supposed to do?

The food went down when I drank but you feel the good it's hard to explain its kind of gross feeling. I got nauseas too and my husband said the look on my face lol. I felt the drink like coldly go down and I guess it was trickling through the food idk how to explain in, and then I felt the food pass. I'm just glad it didn't stay stuck.

I did mushy food until wed night like the doc said. I guess I just ate too fast and have to get used to more restriction as before this fill I had nothing in the band.

Stuck hurts and when it happens you will be like "ohhhh okay now I know lol" it feels like a lump is in your chest and it goes through in a min or two. Sometimes if you sit up straight and don't slouch it will go through.

      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.
