I'm STUCK. In a big way. Two hours from hospital...any suggestions?



Recommended Posts

I have something stuck. I don't even know what because all I had to eat today was a shake and some yogurt. This entire experience has been a nightmare. Im coming on a year and Im miserable. And now this.

Sorry. Im just at my wits end here.

TIA for any advice.

Drink something & see if that doesn't make it come up & out for a few minutes , you may slime but hopefully it will help & you won't be stuck anymore just a suggestion but make sure your by somewhere preferably BA bathroom by the commode so it will come up & out , hope things work out for you.

Hi, drink a couple sips of coke, or pineapple juice. I find if I drink it at room temperture it is best.

Ive never been as "stuck" as you are now, and everyone s different, but something hot to drink ( tea or cocoa) always relaxes the chest /stomach area for me, and that helps the food move. Also adding in a heating pad in the same area relaxes the muscles, and im not so tense, so I can breathe better and focus on getting unstuck. Let us know how it goes !

Hi guys. Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately the hot stuff didn't work. I believe this is a piece of bread stuck. I know I know. Big no no but I was just chewing it and then disposing of it. I also know, gross but I just wanted to taste it. ANYHOW I got distracted and swallowed it. Ugh. It had to come up immediately. I can't even get Soup down now today. My husband is taking me up to my fill center now. Going to see what's up. Ps. Im looking to be more active in here. I need support and hopefully I can help others as well.

Let us know how it goes. Chances are you are probably very swollen from the whole event. Taking out some fill will help and you should really take it easy with foods for a few days to let things settle down. Try staying with liquids and soft mushy food for a few days.

Thank you.

Just got home I don't even want to look at food. LOL

I feel raw and my stomach is gurgling so bad. I guess all that air I was trapping in there as well is moving around.

As soon as it was loosened I felt it drop into my stomach. Kinda gross feeling lol

She took out all 4.5 cc s and put back in 3 until Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again everyone. :)

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
