Strange Feeling...Anyone Know???



Recommended Posts

I posted this in another thread, but it was related to PB'ing, and I don't think that's what I'm doing.

So last night, I made a "creamsicle drink" and it had lots of orange rind in it from the marmalade. So I strained it, but I think there were still a few tiny pieces in it. So about an hour or so after, I started feeling these strange sensations in my chest, not really my stomach, a little higher, and I could feel the pressure or something coming up, or just moving, and I don't think it was gas. Then this weird sensation moved up in my jaw/mouth, and it would make me feel the need to yawn, or burp, or just try to make it go away. It didn't hurt, just very annoying, and it kept happening for several hours, all the way until I went to bed. It's SO weird, I've never done this before.

I woke up and I wasn't doing it at all. So I took a shower, and while I was in the shower, yep, it did it again. Am I crazy or something? What the heck is this? I've been up now for a few hours and it's only done it maybe 3 times so far this morning, but it's driving me crazy. It's almost like a yawning sensation but I feel it in my chest too.

Please, if any of you have the slighest idea of what this might be, I'd love to know. :confused2:

To be on the safe side, you should call your doctor ASAP! You're still a "young-un", but the symptoms you're describing sound heart related since the pain is going up into the jawline. Don't wait - call and rule it out!

Did you find out what was going on? Your symptoms sounded heart related to me as well.

First, thanks for trying to figure this out with me guys! I really don't know what was going on. I did it a few more times yesterday, but then it just went away. I knew it wasn't heart related, simply because something would come up in my esophogus, sometimes just a weird feeling, sometimes a burp. The only thing I had done differently was have that "creamsicle shake". I think that possibly some of the orange skins that weren't strained had gotten down in my pouch or my esophogus and maybe were causing me to burp, or possilby try to pb, I'm still not 100% sure.

I do know two things though. I will never make another shake out of Marmalade (it was gross) and second, I am SO GLAD IT STOPPED! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
