Food stuck wth



Recommended Posts

This is new to me. I'm 5 weeks out. Yesterday I ate a few bites of raw coconut. It didnt have an immediate affect so I thought it was fine. An hour later I had 5, yes five wheat thins. And one ounce of chicken. About an hour later I was down and out. I thought I may be going through 'dumping'. Nope for the next 7 hours I vomited the foamys, thought my chest was going to explode, had pain in my back right below the shoulder blades and couldn't lay down. I tried small sips of Water, an antacid, and a pain pill . I finally vomited what looked like the coconut but it was dark in color-- tmi? Sorry. I was really starting to worry. Just now after 8 hours can I almost lay down and don't have as severe pain as I did. WTH! Is this going to be a normal addition to what I'm already dealing with?

Well vets will be in shortly to give you the real scoop.

((hugs)) And so scary larry! Glad you horked it up!!!

Make sure you go back to Clear Liquids (and my surgeon said that should include clear Protein drinks) for the next 24 hours until it completely clears and doesn't cramp of make you nauseous.

That kinda sorta happened with me, but in my bowels.

I think it means, that it "could" be your new normal IF it was user error. Like, if you didn't chew well enough, or ate too fast, or ate too much--you could have the prob over and over. IF you have some kind of stricture, the same thing. But probably it was just too soon for you to have coconut and then wheat thins.

Coconut will swell in volume. Dessicated means dried. So maybe when Fluid got to it, it swelled and blocked the exit. The only way out was up at that point.

Just my hypothesis of events.

Maybe try coconut again in a couple of weeks but in much less quantity?

Watch your gallbladder. Before I had mine out, I had severe and long lasting pain and vomiting.

Protein2O water; Premier Protein Clear; and Isopure. I'd cut any of them with Water at 50%. It will make them more dilute and drinkable. They are all clear liquids.

      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.
