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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
