Just Got Sick From Being Stuck



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I just got sick from being stuck for a few hours. I'm about about 3 1/2 months out from surgery and have 1.5cc in a 10cc band, I've had one other stuck episode and the doctor talked me through it over the phone and luckily it went down with a couple sips of Water, I didn't have Fluid in my band at that time, This time however, I left it alone for a couple hrs and then tried the sip of water and threw up. I called the doc and the nurse said to try to drink some water tonight and if that goes down fine then I can eat but to let them know if I have any issues. Can anyone tell if this has happened to them and how bad this could be? Also, how did you ease back into eating, I think I'm just going to be done for tonight. I do know all about chewing an eating slow and I usually never have a problem but I think being sick with a bad cold and being congested isn't helping things go down, Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Sorry you had a stuck issue...but good for you to call your dr !!!!

I would stay with fluids for the next 24 hrs...let things sette down....

Lord knows I have had my share of stucks..but I think I finally got the message and I have slowed down and chew chew chew...

One thing I have done is make sure I dont get to hungry ....so i can go slow.....Good Luck !

Thanks you. I think that's what I'll do just to be safe. I know exactly what you mean about making sure you don't get too hungry! Congrats on your weight loss :)

On my stuck episodes, I usually don't feel like eating again anyways. I opt for a nice cool Protein Shake sipping really slowly or a tall glass of peach mango Mio. Or crystal light. My stomach will be irritated for a few hours. I feel for you. I try to avoid stuck episodes, but sometimes it happens reminding us the band is there:(

      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?

      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
