Stuck for 10+ hours?



Recommended Posts

I've had my 3rd fill, did fine for about 4 days. last night I ate at a friends house and the Soup had shredded chicken in it. I did my best to avoid it, but almost twelve hours later I still feel stuck. No vomit, no PB. Just HURTS! How long should I wait before I call the doctors office? Its Sunday right now, so I'd be calling the on call doc. What else could this possibly be?

I feel bad for you being stuck, I have been a few times lately. The feeling you have now maybe from your throat being sore. Maybe try some hot tea. Also, call the doctor's office I know mine has 24/7 coverage. That is why the doctors are there.

Feel better. Also, sucking on a popscile never hurts.

Doesn't sound like you are stuck, sounds like you irritated the stoma. Be careful because it's a slippery slope. Irritation turns to inflammation turns to occlusion. Best to go to liquids for 1-2 days until that pain subsides to not further agitate the stoma. If at any time you cannot get any fluids or solids to pass, you will need a temporary unfill until the swelling subsides.

I agree that it does not sound like you're stuck. food in your pouch is subjected to stomach acids and would break down in a few hours. If you have swelling, my advice would be to chew on ice, popsicles, smoothies? Swelling is mitigated by using ice so if your stoma is swollen shut, a little cold applied may open it up a little. Call your doctors office in the am.

I had a small Piece of cheese stuck for hours... I got an unfilll and felt the cheese pass through as they were unfilling me.... It was immediately relieving lol

      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.
