Chocolate can get stuck!!



Recommended Posts

So here's a new one. Remember how I said that chocolate is my downfall and I wish it got stuck? Well, apparently I jinxed myself. I haven't had anything more solid than pudding since my fill last Thursday. Today my son gave me a piece of chocolate break-up that was softened. He loves chocolate too, all 69 pounds of him. Anyway, I was hungry and that piece went down so I had another. I had only taken in about 50 calories by then and needed some energy. All of a sudden, I felt the stuck pain and started pbing and sliming...for an hour! My son had an eye exam and I had to keep going into the bathroom at the opticians. Can't imagine what they thought was wrong with me! How embarrassing.

This was as bad as when I got stuck on shrimp. How?! Chocolate melts!! I have such a big gas bubble that comes back whenever I drink anything so maybe the chocolate couldn't get past the bubble. I had a bubble like that for 10 days after surgery so maybe it will go away soon. Right now, I'm trying to get down a little egg drop Soup and it won't stay down. I'll give this to Monday or as long as I can stand it. I have an appointment with the nurse practioner next Friday. Instead of another fill like she thinks she's giving me, I may need an unfill. I would like to hold out till then and get a few more pounds off but this is miserable! I'm gonna try till either I can't get down any liquid at all or go nuts! :thumbdown:

{{{{{Cindy}}}}} I hope you feel better. Girl you have had a time lately. Knock on wood the only real stuck I had involved a some new meds. It was a capusule. Dear Lord I thought I couldn't be more miserable.

Don't know if it's true but I've hear Benedryl helps when you have a stuck. Something about it reducing swelling. It would be worth the try, but I would do th liquid rather than the pills.

Wendy, I'm going to pick up some liquid Benedryl tomorrow. The stuff tastes awful and makes you sleepy but if it works I will happily gulp it down. This fill reminds me of how I felt a week after surgery. It was hard to revel in the weight loss because I was so miserable with gas pain. 10 days after surgery, I was in the ER getting IV liquids for dehydration because I couldn't sip Water without getting gas pain and pbing. An x-ray showed a big gas bubble above the band and I think its back. It finally popped a few days later which is why I'm trying to wait before calling the doc. The weight loss is great but why does it have to come with such a price?

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
