Stuck feeling and 20 wks pregnant



Recommended Posts

I took my Iron pill FRI night and didn't drink much Water with it obviously. I started feeling sick about 5 min later. I threw up not by choice and felt better.... Next day Sat I felt extremely tight. Barely got any food down all day even after drinking warm liquids. It helped but heaviness was still in the bottom of my throat. I had to resort to Protein Shakes which I think eventually came up later that night. I could taste the iron pill in mu vomit. Today, sun still same feeling. Didn't sleep well due to that pressure feeling. Ate a spoon full of Peanut Butter. How can I get unstuck???!!! What can help? Why hasn't it dissolved yet?? HELP!!

Try a couple of hours of slowly sipping hot liquids, don't overdo it. If it hurts bad enough today to page your Dr do it, otherwise I would do liquids only til tomorrow and call. Please don't wait.

You're not still stuck, that pill is long gone by now. You've probably just irritated your stomach from the stuck episode and throwing up.

I would go onto liquids for 24 hours to give it time to calm. If you're still having problems after that, I'd call your surgeon.

Thanks so much for advice. I have had no real sleep but actually feel better. I don't feel that heavy feeling as much. I have been coughing and then a lot of liquid coming up at the same time. It tastes exactly like that pill I took. Maybe it's trying to calm down now. Hopefully I can keep done warm liquid in me and Protein Shakes for the day. Once again thanks! First time mommy and I want to make sure my baby is getting all the nutrients he needs. I never had this problem before.

Didnt your doctor suggest to remove the Fluid out of your band while pregnant? In my experience as a child birth educator, all of my band patients had their fluid removed while pregnant so that their babies could get enough nutrition.

I find that ice Water is helpful. I also take peppermint oil, 10 drops in the water. It helps with spasms, which might be what you're experiencing. Check with your doctor.

My dr said if I could eat normal amounts that it was fine. I have been able to eat normal until now. It started Fri with that pill. I don't know if now it's just extremely irritated and is the reason why not even fluids can stay down comfortably.

I have been trying warm Water, maybe I will try ice water now. So far whatever I drink seems to go down but then just sit there. :(

Don't drink Ice Water . It tightens everything up. Just go slow take a sip every ten mins that's what I have todo .

Im not sure if this may help some but i always keep some ice cream in my freezer, and when i am stuck I eat a little bit of ice cream mixed with soda, like half a cup very slowly, and that helps the food to pass.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
