Feel like something is stuck



Recommended Posts

Had surgery Monday. Been home since Wednesday all I have had is Water and Protein Drinks. Actually took my pills and noe I feel like something is stuck. Am I always going to feel this way? The pain medicine is making me sick right now at this moment I am regretting this alot. Tell me it will get better

Hope yo fell better! Call your surgeon if you have any doubts! I am 3 1/2. weeks out and it got a lot better for me! The pain meds didn't agree with my stomach either. I used zofran for nausea. It helped a lot.

Has anyone thought to take half a dose then a couple of hours later take the other half. My daughter is on a lot of pain meds and that is what she has to do occasionally in order not to vomit them back up.

If you just had your surgery on Monday then you could still be swollen and that could be causing you to get stuck with your pills, I know I had to either crush or have liquid for my meds for first days after surgery if it continues def call your dr!!!

I was told we can't even try to take any pills til after 3 months.

It's probably that.

I think that maybe the way I tell I'm full. Felt better this morning, had some Protein and Water and this afternoon did not take any pills. Had some protein chicken Soup and there is that feeling again. Will try to keep track of this. Might be a good thing. Don't know yet. And I am not even taking half of a half of pain meds.

I had trouble taking pills at first. Now at six weeks it is better as long as I go slow and space it out. I was told that if your medication is time released you shouldn't crush it. It will get better I'm sure:)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
