Help! I have a piece of chicken stuck



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Any help would so appreciated.

I am 4 weeks post gastric bypass and the nutritionist said I could start with some steamed chicken so I did, but it's got stuck well and truly!

It's been stuck now for 48hrs, in the beginning the pain was overwhelming and had me shaking uncontrollably but now it has eased to a dull ache with intermittent spasms, but I can't get anything but small amounts of liquids pass, tablets just reappear so does food.< /p>

Does anybody have any tips on helping the chicken digest?

Thanks in advance...

Quickly make yourself throw up. It happens to me sometimes. I use the opposite side of my toothbrush to put down my throat. It will help I guarantee

I have been trying on and off the whole time but I don't have much of a gag reflex and have had no luck at bringing up anything but saliva.

Hi yes I did call him when it happened and he suggested soda Water to try and push it out - tried it and have had no luck. he had offered to pull it out by endoscopy but can't do it till Tuesday (Sunday AM here atm).

I was just hoping there was some other "trick" lol :)

Yes well if it's still stuck on Tuesday I will make the 2hr trek to his hospital for the endoscopy but I suppose I will just have to cope till then :(

There isn't much point as we are rural and if I rock up to the local hospital ER they will just tell me they can't deal with it and to go down to town.

Taking a risk if there is something really wrong.

In South Australia, I think you are right though I might see if I can get a babysitter and borrow some money and make the trek this AM.

      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.
