A PB Gone Bad! Very Bad!



Recommended Posts

Here is my story....

Wednesday Night... I ate some Teriyaki chicken, after about 4 bites it started to get stuck. Okay I know this feeling, I sat back really calm and praying it would go down. A min or two after my mouth filled up with slime and I thought... nope it isnt going down... I ran to the bathroom and as soon as I opened my mouth it all started to come out. There was so much slime I barely could breathe. The next thing I knew it was coming out of my nose... Ewwwwww so gross and boy it hurt so so bad. Okay so as soon as I was done.. I clean my nose really good even put Water up there to make sure it was all clean... blew it a few times... done! Friday evening I was getting this bad pain in my cheak bone like someone hit me... then my teeth starting hurting... I thought I must of been getting a sinus infection.. Im like a maginet to sinus infections... So I took so Zinc and Vitamin C.. Saturday afternoon, I started getting this bad gross taste in my mouth.. and I also could smell/taste something really bad when I breathed in. The worst came to mind... Some of the food I PBed got trapped somewhere in my sinuses and now is rotting... Today Sunday... I have been using a sodium solution to drane out my nose and this thick very yellow stuff is coming out.. with a foul odor. I know its gross.. Even my husband is starting to smell my nose... I guess right now all I can keep doing is rinseing it out.....

I will keep you updated on my stinky nose... ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh Choo.... ewwwwwwww hehehehe

I think you really need to get to the doctor. I know that tooth abcesses can be deadly and an infection in your head is not something to play around with.

The simple fact of the really foul odor and the yellow color indicates an infection of some sort. Everyone is right when they say you should call your doc first thing in the morning, no sense in getting a systemic infection from this. Good luck and let us know how you are feeling. Are you possibly running a temerature? Another sign of infection, but you don't always get one.

Keep us posted.

OMG, I've pb'd way tooooo many times, but never out of my nose, poor baby!

I've never even thought about food getting stuck in there, oh my. Needless to say, next time I even think I'm gonna pb, I'm not waiting, thanks for sharing your horrible experience with us, yes every detail.

Please let us know what the doctor says.

What she said!

We love you Trish! If you have the nurse care line with your insurance, call that number tonight. I know you might feel silly doing it, but this is one of those times where you just swallow your pride and call.

Also, for some of us, sinus infections always lead to lung infections. We don't want that for you, ever!!!

Okay the 24 hour nurse told me.. SEE A DOCTOR!.... Okay this is very serious now... She also said to stop rinseing it out.. because it can irritate it worse. She is thinking I got a food particle stuck in my sinuses and now has cause a very serious infection.

OMG Im scared now... my temp is also rising... she said I will be good tonight, but I need to see a doctor tomorrow no later.

      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.
