pain in stomach



Recommended Posts

anybody have this? I definately over-ate the other night.

Last night and all today I have been having pain/discomfort across my stomach (under breast area) I can not take full breaths without pain. no yawning, etc can't lay down to sleep (uncomfortable). Called nurse said that I was most likely 'blocked' and should try meat tenderizer. Did that around 2 pm. its around 11:00pm now and still no luck.

this is really strange to me as I have only been 'blocked' before in my throat.

Any one else have this?:help:

Well I am happy to report that the 'meat tenderizer' worked. This morning I woke with just a hint of the previous discomfort.

I wish this pain on no one........but I'm assuming if this happened to me it could happen to all........so be careful not to over do it like I did.:whoo:

ready to lose, glad to hear you are doing better. When I got blocked I used some papaya enzyme tablets, you just chew one or two up, it is the same stuff as in the meat tenderizer, only tastes better. I got it at a health food store. another remedy is pineapple juice. hope this helps.

i think that drinking Water is what works for me.. then it gets loose and i can pb.......... gross. but it seems to work...... maybe im not really blocked, but if it doesnt go down and i feel that pressure, im gonna drink and try to get it up ... i hate that feeling........ im so careful, but it has happened before. i only eat a few bites at a time......... better safe than sorry...

Don't be scared -- I do eat some sweets - just small portions.

I also like to get something like gobstopper's (jawbreakers) I let them melt in my mouth then eat the sweet tart center. 13 of them is a serving for 60 cals.

You will do great -- :rolleyes:

how does the meat tenderizer work? how do you take it?

I found it in the spice area of the super market. My doctor told me to take 2 teaspoons with 1 cup of warm Water and drink it down. I tasted as if I was drinking a cup full of ocean Water.< /p>

I don't know how it worked,, but it did!!!!!!!!!!

I am now keeping it in my pantry just in case!!

      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.
