Never been so happy to throw up!

So I know it's a total overshare but when you eat something that gets stuck, I mean horribly stuck, I don't know about the rest of you but something I used to HATE absolutely HATE to do is suddenly a relief.

 

Last night at a dinner party of sorts, I had an epic fail of someone's chicken kabob and a cup of the tropical savory & sweet rice pudding (fully expanded in this form prior to eating) that I brought, the pudding turned out delicious and easy to go down..(yay me!) not to mention everyone LOVED it, I should so be on top chef! lol - but while I was able to avoid most of the other dishes because they were sides, I had to eat the only protein and the host's dish of Chicken Kabobs.. The kabob was dry, horribly, horribly dry. Being polite I tried to eat what I could... ugh.. 1 bite too many and the slime comes, the pain, all of that...I finally excuse myself and go home to shower...Not sure why, but I think because sliming is SO gross to me, this where I like to do it at lol. (WOW that may have been a complete overshare lol) but finally about 15 mins into the ordeal it FINALLY comes up...

 

Now I know why people say they can't eat things, or can't handle meats, etc... I've come to realize I need to just stick to eating things I cooked, my meats, especially chicken are never dry. How does one dry out chicken? Evidently this is a common phenomenon.. WHO KNEW?!??!?

 

But I now have full understanding of what people go through.. In 7 months of being banded I've only had 1 bad sliming/throw up experience, oddly enough with honeydew melon.. but after that dry chicken last night ugh! I get it.. I totally get it..

 

Think today will be a all smoothie day and I'll eat later tonight..

Trust me, chicken can be very very dry. I'm a dark meat eater and I have converted to (mostly) white meat. It is not the same.

I'm sorry you went through that, but your description is pretty funny. I don't think Dial Bodywash will be using it in a commercial anytime soon though.

I agree on the smoothie day -- seems to help the band and esophagus adjust back down from the trauma.

Hope you feel better!

hi yvette,

what is this sliming I keep reading about? Also what is that sweet spot that everyone is talking about. I am getting banded Sept.2

Thanks Nikki

I feel for you! That is totally a horrible situation. I'm glad you were able to leave. The only time I got stuck (that badly) was at the movies and I had been driven there, so I was stuck in more ways than one!

Glad you were able to get rid of it!!

Sliming is when your body is lubricating to try to either push the stuck food down, or depending on position in your stoma, bring it back up.... it's that weird heavy saliva you get right before you're about to vomit. Sometimes just spitting works and the food passes down.... other times it pushes it back up and you vomit - mmmm lol
