Can you get stuck with in the Full liquid Stage??



Recommended Posts

Is getting stuck something that happens only when you start eating solid foods or can you get stuck by overfilling on liquids as well. I have already realized what full feels like and a little too full feels uncomfortable but not sure what stuck is. One night I had major pain in my throat and stomach after eating Soup and some gold fish crackers-but I really dont know what caused that because even the crackers were really mushy. I ate at about 9 pm(maybe to late) and then went straight to bed. Woke up at midnight with the worst pain in my chest and wanted to throw up but couldnt-To make a long story short I ended up sleeping sitting up on the couch. Can anyone describe stuck and when it happens to you? Can it happen during the full liquid stage?

Yes you can get stuck on liquids, so to speak. If the hole at the bottom is very small, drinking too much will result in the liquid sitting in your esophagus rather than your stomach. Some people can tolerate this. Most cannot.

The goldfish crackers were probably what you got stuck on, even if they were incredibly mushy. When you wash dishes in the sink even the smallest amount of solid in the trap makes the Water not drain well. Your stomach is the same way.

Did your nutritionist or surgeon approve Goldfish crackers on a full liquid diet? I don't think they qualify as a full liquid, even if you do let them soak up the liquid and get mushie.

Be careful, don't hurt yourself. You've been through so much, don't risk it by pushing the limits now.

Gentle hugs and best wishes for your total success!

I have had times when I couldn't keep down protien shakes. Usually after a fill. Now I know if it starts giving me that pain in my chest that tells me I've had enough, I take a break and sip very slowly.

In my paper work it said that after 2 weeks I could break up crackers in my soup....didnt say what kind. Gold fish was all I had and was craving something salty different than soup....after that I went out and bought premium crackers. Im now on my first week of solids....havent had any problems since....going for my first fill on the 15th.:thumbdown:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
