Six weeks out and did something dumb and ate a little too much

[snowwhytequeen 0]

So im going on my sixth week and I was so hungry and tried to find something to eat in my house and all i found was a lean cuisine pocket so I tried it. Now I feel awful. I have the sweats, I threw up twice i have acid reflux and my chest hurts a little. Any advice from anyone? AND NO I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN

Things will get stuck from time to time. For me it happens when I forget about the band and eat too quickly or don't chew well enough. I take papaya enzyme pills when that happens.... chew a few pills, try some sips of Water, and it passes within a few minutes. Feels like forever because it is awfully unpleasant. My sense is that the pills help but I may be imagining it. Other folks have recommended pineapple juice. I've only things come up twice since I had my band.

After a stuck episode I usually put myself on an antacid pill (like omeprazole/prilosec) for a few days and eat only soft stuff for a few days. And, like you, I find I don't want to try those foods again for a good long time!!

At 6 weeks you should be healed and on solids, right? So I can see why you'd think you could eat a lean cuisine thingie. I could've at 6 weeks...I had absolutely no restriction and didn't for MONTHS.

you may want to try it again in a couple months if it's something you really like to eat. Perhaps your surgeon restricted you right away (there are pros and cons to that)...I'd call Monday and find out. If you don't have restriction, your reaction seems just a tiny bit extreme.

Good luck!
