JUST WHEN I WAS DOING SO GOOD!!!

So today I went to the Dr's for an Unfill! I was waiting patiently for this appointment! I have not eaten in a few days (since Monday) and having a really difficult time getting liquids down! I finally budged and figure something wasn't right and scheduled the appointment for today!

I told the Dr. that on Saturday I was grillin chicken was moist, not over cooked, and tasted sooo good. I took a few bites and was in the bathroom spitting (sliming) all over! A good 4-5 mins, I thought I was going to be sick. Sunday came, I made burgers on the grill...I do really well with ground beef! Not Sunday! I couldn't eat it! So, Monday came couldn't even eat my yougart! Gurgling everything I swallow, even my own spit (how gross)!

So Dr. told me he would take my full 2 cc's out of my band and we see what happens. Told me if I can't get anything down they were admitting me ( I am really dehydrated )!!!! So I sat in the office for over an hour drinking away 6 oz of water! Still gurgling and now in tears!!! I don't want to be admitted! I am fine let me go home! So finally, after the hour and them checkin in on me every so many minutes they made a deal with me and Gave me bad advice! LOL.

Here is his deal!

Go home- drink 6-8 oz of COKE! If I have something stuck (chicken) then it will dissolve and pass through or I will Vomit and it will come up that way! I also have to drink 24-32 oz of liquids by the end of the night (Gatorade, Water, or juice and this includes my Coke, UNLESS I throw it up)~! DEAL DEAL DEAL!!!!

I was sittin there in the office tears runnin, feelin like a fool! I will do whatever you say so I can go home!

So he is going to call me tomorrow to see how I am doing! If I am still gurgling he wants me to go in for a SCOPE. They give me good meds so I don't feel a thing and I guess go in down my throat with a tube to see whats going on. Hopin the GURGLIN will go away!!!!

I forgot how sweet soda is! My teeth feel like they are going to fall out! LOL.

Well good new is when I weighed in there i am down to 189.2 an all time LOW!!!!! Not healthy how I lost it this week; but low!

I walked 4 times this week so far! Feelin good... just really want to EAT and DRINK!!!

TTFN! Ta Ta for now!

I hope and pray you don't have a slip...I am glad you are getting a scope...that will lead to a personalized plan of care.

Best wishes, Mimi

I know this is probably not going to sit well with some people, but I drink carbonation EVERY time I get stuck. I cannot deal with pain at all, so I either want it to pass or come up. Therefore, I drink carbonation (be it coke or otherwise). I told my doctor, and since he has never had a problem with carbonation he doesnt have a problem drinking a little to get it up. I'm fairly newly banded (3 months) so I am still learning how to eat. I figure once I learn how to eat properly, I wont get stuck and I can cut out the soda all together.

I may be newly banded but this is really good to know! I do not deal with pain so if I can get it up with soda then Hallelujah!

Just be careful. I know some doctors go ape shit at the mention of soda. I understand both sides, but honestly I sip enough to throw up or make it pass so I can't be doing much damage.

I would only drink enough (if it happens) to pass or throw up anyway! But it is good to know in case of a dire emergency. I wouldn't try it unless I was really stuck!

I had no idea soda would help that. Thanks for the tip!

I hope your feeling better today Mandy!

Hope you are feeling better and that everything became unstuck!!! Keep us posted.
