Food stuck! Pain for over 8+ hours



Recommended Posts

Yeah you got the food stuck alright! It is painful and just as you described! The bubbles are because your body is attempting to process it' date=' but cant so mucus sputum forms all around it so you can sick it up.[/quote']

I ended up calling the surgeon they told me don't eat just drink but as long as I can keep liquids down I should be ok. It still hurts but not as much, I hope it just goes away! It's been a whole day. I think it might be moving though and I was able to get my pills down. Def don't want to pay 100 for a ER copay if I have to wait it out!

It happen to me today. I wasn't in hours of pain but my stomach was killing me. I had a few fried fries & clam strips. I thought I was gonna die. It came out opposite of vomiting.

Oh that sounds painful mami, hope you feel better

Plus er visits are sooo long and complicated. By the time you are seen, you will feel better and then they want to keep you just to torture you it seems. Plus give you all sorts of testing. I went once post op because I couldnt eat. Worst experience ever! I only had a swollen pouch but I was put through hell. I tild myself that next time I will.wait until I knew for certain that there was a problem. So uncomfortable away from home.

      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.
