horrible swelling after "irritation"



Recommended Posts

I was last filled 3 months ago. about 2 weeks ago I started getting "irritated", i.e. more frequent sliming and burping up of almost anything I ate. I kept trying to eat small amounts and some went down, some came up. Eventually I got to the point where everything I tried to eat slimed up after about 3 bites. Then liquids started sliming up and I got worried. Dr. said 3 days of Clear Liquids, prilosec 2xday. It;s day 4 now and I tried a sip of Protein Shake this morning which was followed by half an hour of burping and sliming. Also feels like I have a knot in my chest, about half way down my esophogus. When I push on it gently, I burp. It feels like something's stuck there. Anybody else having or had this lovely experience? I'm getting hungry! At least i can get and keep clear liquid down.

P.s. more on this swollen condition: I also burp up a lot of white foam when i'm past the sliming phase. What is this?

GIRL YOU NEED TO GET SOME TAKEN OUT! I was like that and didn't do anything. Eventually I was swollen shut and couldn't even have Water. I had to be completely deflated and back on liquids for 2 weeks. It was right around my 18 birthday too so it sucked.

I felt like something was stuck too but there was nothing there. I waited 36 hours to see if i could pass it and I couldn't. GO TO THE DOCTOR!

      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.
