I had posted this in post operation question but didnt get a response, so I will retry my luck.

I had been feeling like I had a sour stomach for a few days but didn't think much of it. Then Monday night I ate a piece of cheese and it got stuck. Bad Stuck. I PB'ed for about 30 minutes. Longer than I ever have before. Than I threw up very bad. Now I am majorly burning in my esophagus, and it burns expecially when I drink Water. And I hurt in my port area. Now I am just noticing that I don't have any restriction. Very STrange. I had to go to my family doctor because my surgeon is 3 hours away. Due to a few issues with insurance and medical staff, the soonest I can get into do a barium swallow is Monday. But I am racking my brain trying to figure out what is wrong. Anyone experience anything like this or have any thoughts?:tongue2:

I don't think it's unusual to have burning in your esophagus after a stuck, pbing and throwing up episode. Everything has been irritated. Just take it easy with mushies and liquids for a few days. The lack of restriction could indicate a slip. But the upper GI will be able to tell you what is going on.

Since you've already called the doc! (yay you!) :tongue2:

Yes get Mylanta or some tums. If you truly VOMITED (including stomach acid, which most PB's don't) you may have really irritated yourself and that's causing the burning. You may have some reflux or heartburn going on. Don't just suffer; mylanta or tums won't hurt you and should ease it some.

And as you know, liquids only for a couple days until it calms down...but do stay hydrated. Have some Protein shakes if you can bear them.

Good luck! Probably your "innards" are just upset and it won't be anything major, but you've totally done right by calling the doc.

      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.
