Dinner got Stuck



Recommended Posts

I am in stage 5 and I got home late last night and stopped to pick up dinner for me and my DH. Well I bought a roasted chicken and when I got home I was so hungry I started eating it, skin and all, forgetting to chew. Well within minutes I had so much discomfort in the middle of my chest, I pb'd for about 30 minutes then made myself throw up because something felt stuck and everything came up. I'm embarrased to tell everyone, because I know better, but my old self kicked in. This happened once before BUT never this bad!

Any suggestions what to do when this happens, besides trying to make myself barf it up?

I think if it won't go down it's got to come up. And I think you are supposed to switch back to liquids for a day or two and let the area heal up from being aggravated, or you'll PB again.

Old habits die hard, but a good ole PB is a good lesson to cause us to remember, huh? Sorry 'bout that. I know it's yucky and uncomfortable and even scary. 30 minutes is a long time to be dealing with that! Be good to your band and let things heal.

If I went back to liquids every time I pb'd I'd be on them nonstop. I'm not saying that wouldn't be a good idea, but my fill is a little snug. That golf ball feeling hurts, I warned my mom about that, but she had to find out for herself, like we all do. Old bad habits are hard to break, I'm 4 months out and still get ping pong ball sizes now.

Hey Mayra, I believe it means she's transitioned to solid foods. Some of us have four stages, some three, it all depends on how you define your food groups.

Hope that helps!

Boys mom, I was thinking the same thing, so don't feel stupid lol

Everyone is different of course, but, skin and my band are not on friendly terms. I think most of us banded have been there done that......but it stinks. Sorry you had to go through it.

For the poster who said, if I went on liquids everytime I pb'd........I know what you mean lol

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
