please help it hurts to eat anything



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Please help me. Here is what is going on. On Sunday I had an issue with some pizza getting stuck, this is the first time thats happened to me. I ended up sliming that day since then it hurts to eat and almost everything gets stuck. I didn't think my band was to tight I was filled almost two weeks ago, so the stuck happened a week after the fill.

I am wondering what I should do here. This is great for my weight loss but I am starting to feel a little weak. Let me know if anyone has a thought. Thanks

Jodi

Your stoma is inflamed from the PB'ing. Stop trying to eat any solids and only eat liquids or very soft mushies. Luckily it's Thanksgiving...mashed taters only please!

You have to give your tummy a chance to heal. If you can, get some aloe vera juice asap. It helps dang near immediately with swelling. I swear it's the wonder cure (read about it here on LBT, can't take credit for it).

Just rest the stoma and it will calm down. If after having liquids and aloe for a few days you are still having trouble, you'll need to get an unfill. You can't live like this. I know, I tried. Miserable!

Hi

so sorry you are uncomfortable! Try starting your day with some hot tea or such and stay on mushies and liquid for a few days, it will get better! To make sure you still get a lot of Protein, I would reccommend cottage cheese, lentle Soup, and Kefir (probiotic yogurt). Good luck, and try to enjoy some of the softer foods for thankgiving today.....

It does sound like you are inflamed! I'm so sorry, but I would go with the soft foods for a few days until you've been able to settle down.

You are swollen. You need ot do liquids for 24-48 hours. Anytime you have a slime or PB you need to rest your esophagusand stoma and do liquids for 24-48 hours or you will start a vicious cycle of eatingthen PBing. I know thisfirst hand. I had a horrible PB and did not listen to my doctors instructions, continued to eat the next day, I eventually had the worst case of esophagits ever. It was very painful. I had done so much damage I had to do liquids for 2 weeks.

I can't eat thick breads and I especially cant eat any bread without toasting it. Its pita bread for me. pizza with a thick base is totally out! Sometimes I can manage one with a thin flaky base.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
