Do I Need To Call My Dr?



Recommended Posts

I had my last fill about 5 months ago and everything has been great until today. I woke up around 4 am because I was coughing. I noticed that I also felt like there were bubbles in my throat. About 5 minutes later, I threw up a small amount of clear Fluid (maybe acid??). Throughout the day I've had some Water, part of a smoothie, and a cheese stick, but something doesn't feel right. I don't really feel like it's going down...it seems like it's just sitting in my throat. Send there are still lots of bubbles.

I'm thinking things may be a little aggravated and I need to do liquids for a few days, but I don't want to make things worse by waiting too long. Has anyone else experience anything like this?

Whenever you feel the need to ask should I call my doctor? The answer is always yes.

Cheryl's answer was my immediate response to seeing the title of the post -- absolutely call. Don't ask us, a bunch of people on the internet. Ask your medical professionals!

Thank you all! I did call the doctor and they are getting me in tomorrow. I'll do liquids in the interim.

      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.
