First Stuck Episode



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

Well I knew it was coming, I was hoping later than today much later.. So I ended up with this horrible feeling in my chest, followed by sliming, and major saliva. Then it happened.. Now what? I have read so many threads about drinking warm, drinking cold but what works best for you and why?

I will def. be doing liquids the next couple days for sure..

The slimes! I walk and spit a lot and try not to drink anything till it passes. I have such a busy schedule and found myself eating while driving to a meeting and it happened! I thought I was going to die! But really have found I can't attempted to make it pass with more liquid. I pulled over and walked around.

oh the infamous stuck episodes, sorry you got stuck and oh I've had my share. Most times I PB along with the slime and saliva and sometimes I throw up completely. Afterwards I find it for myself better to drink hot tea and yes be on liquids for at least a day. I hope you are better by tomorrow, it does aggravate things in there. hugs

hot liquids seems to relax the areas and it feels better.

I wouldnt try to drink anything to make it pass though because the liquids wont pass around it. Just try to relax and yes do liquids for the next couple days. It is horrible and hurts like hell.

liquids don't really do the trick during an episode. Walking helps me, once it passes then I drink some Water and go on liquids for the next meal juuust to play it safe!

Yes I agree! My daughter says Mom, here drink something. I have to reject any help and just walk around. Its very true once stuck liquid even saliva almost over flows and comes right back up. Causing mote intense pressure.

I agree with others but I do drink hot tea after I'm stuck or it all comes up, it helps soothe things.

When I got stuck and wanted to get rid of it...I would sip water...the Water will not pass through, only fill the pouch more and then it would all come up....

same reason I was taught not to drink while eating....increases volume too fast causing regurgitation....

      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!
