OK, note to self: DO NOT EAT FRENCH bread WITH THICK CRUST!

Holy bat man! That was so painful! I hat to jump up and down to get it to pass! Yikes!

Now I know what "getting stuck" feels like. I guess I have been eating "slider food" this whole time. Fish, cottage cheese, yogurt, scallops, turkey and chicken go down just fine.

Oh yeah, one of my first stuck episodes was French bread to dip in some VOO with spices and 3 bites in the slime came bubbling up.

I haven't slimed yet. What is that exactly?

I have found myself getting stuck quite frequently lately. Usually it's because I eat too fast and don't chew like I should. I can eat anything if I go slow enough. But my stuck episodes are pretty miserable. I'm pretty sure I look like I'm in labor. Sometimes they stop me from eating for 10 or 15 minutes. I guess that's one way to eat less.

Slime is flem or saliva that your body creates in your esophagus to allow stuck food to slide through and can come up like "slime" as in Ghostbusters. Almost always happens with a stuck episode.

It didn't happen to me. It was SOOOO painful. I was screaming! I jumped up and down and took a sip of Water, and it went down. I am assuming my usual diet is slider foods? Not good. I have had 4 fills already.

Sipping Water could make it worse. Your stoma is blocked so anything you swallow afterwards will back up and/or cause your esophagus to dilate to accommodate more volume. I've never had a stuck episode that caused me to scream or yell. They're mostly just very uncomfortable.

I so know that Water or anything you drink would NOT undo a block on me...it is very painful and drinking something made it even worse-just like TMF said

...be careful!!!

I agree. No fluids for me...I make my own:(.

As for hollering none of that either, just look of total despair and lots of spitting and wishing I could turn back the clock.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
