I discovered how 2 relive my symptoms of being 2 tight



Recommended Posts

O.K. I got was 2 tight 2 months ago and had 2 have an unfill......This month I got 1/2 of 1 cc in on Wed....& I was fine....But I noticed Sat. night I couldn't eat supper...Then by Sun. no Water , no food, ,,,,,and up almost all night choking at times on my own spit.....I next day I suffered until 4 p.m. and went 2 the doc to have a quarter of a cc out......I sipped water and it wnet down but like in all the other instances by the time I got home it came back up...I was sooooooooooooo dehydrated, headache and I just wnated to cry,,,,I just kept spasming,,,,,I decided to try something my Mom used to do when I was sick she would place w cool rag on my throat......I chose to put ice packs around my throat and upper chest and over the next 5 mins. I wasnt dry heaving,,,after 10 mins. I sipped some water and it stayed w/me.....OMG I was so thristy,,,, Well it did the trick it calms down my throat spasms and allowed water to go down....I just thought I would over my remedy to yall out there cuz the docs office offered NO suggesstions what so ever.......:smile2:

thanks for the great advice. I have an appointment in 2 weeks, still not sure if I will get a fill. still have good restriction but I thinks that partly because I am over doing it. Trying to eat foods that just aren't my friend anymore.

Pezo,

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I just had an unfil where they took out some liquid after going through the same feeling. I will see if it works should it happen again!

Drink something warm. It will loosen up the muscle.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
