Recommended Posts

I have something stuck. I don't even know what because all I had to eat today was a shake and some yogurt. This entire experience has been a nightmare. Im coming on a year and Im miserable. And now this.

Sorry. Im just at my wits end here.

TIA for any advice.

Drink something & see if that doesn't make it come up & out for a few minutes , you may slime but hopefully it will help & you won't be stuck anymore just a suggestion but make sure your by somewhere preferably BA bathroom by the commode so it will come up & out , hope things work out for you.

Hi, drink a couple sips of coke, or pineapple juice. I find if I drink it at room temperture it is best.

Ive never been as "stuck" as you are now, and everyone s different, but something hot to drink ( tea or cocoa) always relaxes the chest /stomach area for me, and that helps the food move. Also adding in a heating pad in the same area relaxes the muscles, and im not so tense, so I can breathe better and focus on getting unstuck. Let us know how it goes !

Hi guys. Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately the hot stuff didn't work. I believe this is a piece of bread stuck. I know I know. Big no no but I was just chewing it and then disposing of it. I also know, gross but I just wanted to taste it. ANYHOW I got distracted and swallowed it. Ugh. It had to come up immediately. I can't even get Soup down now today. My husband is taking me up to my fill center now. Going to see what's up. Ps. Im looking to be more active in here. I need support and hopefully I can help others as well.

Let us know how it goes. Chances are you are probably very swollen from the whole event. Taking out some fill will help and you should really take it easy with foods for a few days to let things settle down. Try staying with liquids and soft mushy food for a few days.

Thank you.

Just got home I don't even want to look at food. LOL

I feel raw and my stomach is gurgling so bad. I guess all that air I was trapping in there as well is moving around.

As soon as it was loosened I felt it drop into my stomach. Kinda gross feeling lol

She took out all 4.5 cc s and put back in 3 until Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again everyone. :)

      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.
