Stuck For 2 Days



Recommended Posts

my physician's office says to keep pineapple juice on hand for these issues; it will move a "stuck" issue . . . one way or the other :)

hmmmm, must be the acid in the pineapple. Tomato juice should do the same then. Or any acidic product that ALLOWED.. I always say call the doctor! They always have an on call physician, good ones.Please dont take this as gospel, and I dont endorse, but I looked yer issue up the other night, and at some point it was suggested a small amount of warm Water, with just a sprinkle of meat tenderizer, is supposed to undo a bad "stuck." IT SOUNDS VERY WEIRD and thats why I remember it no doubt. Anyhoo thats what I read, but please read my disclaimers! LOL! Sandy

I have learned keep a room temp can of soda and tip a tiny sip and wait. If the food doesn't go through try another tiny sip. It usually will make me burp or a weird feeling then the food goes through. Its the carbonation that helps move the stuck food. This is the only time I drink soda but usually two tiny sips does the trick.

One nutritionist said.that she heard of.people using.tenderizer (msg). But I'm not sure if it is mixed with a little Water or taken dry NPR do I know how much, but I would not think it would be a lot.

The best thing for being stuck is what they call “drano”. I was stuck about 4 days last Thanksgiving. I was not too tight just stuck. But I could still drink some liquid slowly. Another Bandster told me take some hot coke and mix some meat tenderizer and lemon juice. Go to bathroom and take one big drink and it will go down and right back up with whatever is stuck. It works trust me, in 3+ years I have only used this twice but works fast. You must be ready cause it will shoot back up lol

½ cup diet coke, (diet sprite, etc.) 3 teaspoons meat tenderizer, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, it is gross but works and very fast.

It could have also been that perhaps u were slightly too tight and the substance of the food wouldn't let it pass the too small opening. This happened to me and luckily I was fine after my dr took out one CC. If it ever happens again and it may, go in the same day u notice it will keep your band from slipping.

Good luck.

I cannot even imagine having something stuck for 2 days!!! I would be beside myself for sure. So glad it worked out OK and definitely a reminder to me to be diligent in the chewing and food choices!

It's just me but I would not go in and have Fluid taken out if I was stuck until I tried everything. I think messing with your fill level leads to problems. I understand why people do but I would not, but thats just 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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
