First "STUCK" RIGHT NOW!



Recommended Posts

Having my first stuck moment right now. I've tried burping but no luck. I read awhile back about a man that said he takes a swallow of soda to get a burp to release the food. Tried it and all I got is BAD hiccups.

Wait - hiccups JUST NOW stopped and food isn't stuck in throat anymore. Anyone else experience this?

Hiccups to me is the first sign I'm about to get stuck, and I better stop.....when you get stuck, you'll know it....with the slime and all.....and in my opinion, I would NEVER drink anything carbonated to relieve it....

I do sip warm Water while standing over the toilet....that seems to speed up the process and gets it all out....

That has been my experiences, anyway....

Time is your best weapon for stuck episodes. Most all stuck episodes last only 30-60 minutes. Drinking anything only adds pressure to your esophagus and pouch and that is painful.

Just remember to slow down and chew.

Personally for myself, when I get stuck and start sliming and the pain is almost unbearable, I go to the bathroom and get rid if it. It's usually just something small I did not chew good enough.

I've never tried the soda, I would suggest nothing or a tiny sip of warm tea or broth.

      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.
