Can I still be stuck after a full night's sleep?



Recommended Posts

I had a Calcium chocolate chew (which were fine uptil now) then started slowing eating salmon. The Salmon got stuck immediately. It's now the next morning and I can't drink anything....could I still be stuck?.... or have i slipped the band? Way to early to call doc but I'm not a happy camper ...bad heartburn too. Anything I need to addresss immediately?

If you can't even swallow Water then you should call your doctor soon...you can quickly become dehydrated. I wouldn't worry too much but it does need to be addressed. I am often tight in the morning and after being stuck last night you may just need to give it a couple more hours but don't wait too long.

Thank you Jodi...i was starting to get nervous this morning because I still had heartburn and coudn't drink my coffee and Water wasn't going down too well but thankfully after an hour I was able to drink plenty of water and I had 1/2 a cantaloupe! whew...You start to get thirsty quickly when you can't drink!! This is definitely something to be aware of thank you.

Hi:

I'm glad you're feeling better. I've heard that if you do get stuck it's best to go to fluids for the next 24 hours, then mushies for 24 hours, then regular fluids. I think that they recommend this because you can be swollen after having been stuck.

I love my band!

      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.
