I got Stuck :(



Recommended Posts

This morning has turned out to be a sad sad morning..I got stuck..Literally..I know exactly what i did..I ate to fast..but as i was getting sick and throwing up sick.gif I was home alone and very scared..I could barely breathe frown.gif ..They all say that most of us will get stuck @ least 1 time..Well this was my turn.

so i called my doctor..They sd not to worry about it because it happens, no one is perfect and its a learning experience..well guess what? i don't ever want to do that again..

So, I have to due two days of Clear Liquids, two days of Protein Shakes and two days of puree..That i can handle..

Was everyone this scared?

I feel so tight right now..My doctor says because of the spasms and that it has to take time to let the swelling down..

UGH.

Sorry for rambling..my nerves have gotten to me...

Thanks,

Kristen

Poor thing, yea I got pretty scared the first time it happened to me, and still do when it still occasionally happens, I'm a slow learner sometimes. It makes me feel like I can't breath, which always makes you panic, big time.

So, it's normal to feel the way you feel about getting stuck. Glad you called your doc, always a good idea just to make sure.

Follow his guidelines for eating the next few days and you will be fine.

Hope this never happens to you again, or me either for that matter, LOL.

Have a good day, it's over and you're okay, that's what counts.

Kristen girlfriend I feel ya. I had an episode with rice and it was not pretty. My eyes started watering my mouth started watering and I could not breathe! I was terrified. I remembered some posts on here about breathing through it and walking that helped but it wasn't over until the fat lady sang and believe me baby I sang! LOL. Stick with the liquids and follow your docs orders. I did liquids after that for 3 days I was terrified. Now I hate rice! I used to love rice but that was then. It only takes one time with me for anything and I am done. LOL Glad to hear you are okay.

I got a soft stuck thing 2 days ago - I ate some mashed up meatloaf and mashed potatoes and it didn't really get stuck but it just went down weird and painfully. I felt like crap the next 24 hours and I got freaked out about slippage and my chest was tight and all that but I'm fine now. I think it's normal to freak out when your chest feels weird and you feel bad and you've never felt that way before! Hope you are better now!

So this "stuck" thing is fairly common? As I mentioned in a previous post I have panic attacks, so if your "blocked" you can't take a Xanax to relieve the Panic. Doesn't sound too good to me

naahh of course i could take my xanax! it was not a panic attack.. i just scared

cause it was the 1st time somethin was stuckin in my stomach..

i repeat, before doin anything for your weight loss you have to find a good therapist

to cope your anxiety and panics..

to be hysterical and having hypohondria wont help you to be approved for a lap band

surgery and to lose weight.

do you see a therapist?

No, no therapist, I don't really have the panic attacks now. I've hade surgery 3 times in the past two years and the panic attacks got worse each time after the anethesia, I'm just trying to "weigh" out the pros & cons of getting banded

Has anyone ever experienced back pain when they get stuck. Mine starts to hurt in the upper part of my back never in the middle but kind of to the side.

      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.
