im 4 ish weeks post op and have never hat problems, but today i had some peanut butter and omg. i feel super full and i wondering if im stuck. its been a few hours and its feals worse if anything. i tried sipping some water. im starting to panic. if its stuck wouldnt my body try to pb?

Being full, stuck, and a PB are three different things. PB or productive burp is just that, you burp and something comes up with it. Like when a baby spits up milk. Totally out of no where for me, just burp and surprise!

Eating too much and being uncomfortably full is not stuck. You ate too much. It hurts, but you can swallow your spit, things go down.

Stuck is a rock in your chest. Most times you cannot swallow your own spit. The pain is intense. Walking can help relieve it somewhat, but not entirely. Your body might expel the offending item, or it might work for several hours to make it go down.

In the begenning certains foods hurt more than others to digest. I guess your tummy is tender and heavy foods do not go down so well. I have a problem still with any cream cheese,,, it sits in my stomach- seems like forever.

Was the peanut butter on bread or eaten on a spoon? If it was on bread the bread could have swollen and now you are just really full.

ok. first reply. its somewhere in between full and stuck. i only had 3 tbls and it takes much more than that to make me full. thats just what it feels like. like a minor stuck. 2nd reply. no foods have bothered me yet. i have tried pretty much everything except steak, and ive had Peanut Butter more than once. but it was a different brand. more natural and therefor more sticky. might be what happened. 3rd reply. it wasnt on bread. it will be a long time away if i ever eat bread again.

so basically i called my dr and he said the peanut butter was prolly partially blocking everything. he told me to drink some hot liquid to loosen everything and disolve the butter. so been doing that all night. still feel really full but i can tell its helping. thx for responding guys. hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

I am glad to hear you called your surgeon, that is what we pay them for!

I do hope you are feeling better now. Sometimes when I feel the inkling of stuck, if I stop eating immediately, I'll just feel pain for a while. I won't throw up and I can swallow my spit. It will eventually work its way down.

Also, after a stuck episode, there is often swelling, so take it very easy.

yea. i had some issues earlier. went back to hot liquids. but i ate dinner fine. but i am feeling better. thank you. and my drs awesome. he takes personal calls and will meet you at his office at 2am if you need him to.

My surgeon is like that, too. I just love him! Very happy you are feeling better.
