Stuck? Kind of stuck?



Recommended Posts

On Saturday I had some jam that had fruit pieces in it and a piece of peach slid down my throat before I could chew it. Curse you, slippery jam!:( The bit of fruit was just a little too big but it wasn't big enough to get royally stuck. There was a bit of PBing but the bit wouldn't come up. I even tried the large glass of Water trick to encourage it. PBing stopped and I assumed the bit had worked its way through. I still went to liquids afterwards because of potential swelling. Since then though, anything I put in my mouth, including liquids, hasn't really been sitting well. I feel vaguely nauseated most of the time. I had a couple of crackers today and that triggered the PBing, but again, I couldn't get the crackers up, just a whole lot of slime. I'm wondering if that bit of peach is still kicking around in my pouch refusing to come up or go down and is causing the problem.... kind of like a marble in an hour glass.

Is it possible to get a not quite stuck but not going through bit of food in your pouch? Suggestions other than the gasx or papaya enzyme?

I don't think it's likely that a little tidbit, not quite big enough to stick in your stoma, is still lingering in your pouch. I'd guess that you triggered some irritation, and that is the source of your continued discomfort.

That, and also perhaps that some of the foods you're choosing are less-than-ideal, particularly for a touchy pouch.

It's great that you went to liquids after the Cursed Slippery Jam Experience; I'd try to stick with soft foods (or even full liquids) for a couple of days to see if that helps.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
