Ohh this is what it feels like....



Recommended Posts

I had my first "stuck" incident today. Pretty sure from eating too fast. That was fun....said NOONE ever. Ouch...I panicked a bit. Knew it was coming back up...went to the bathroom....coughed...and the foamy yuckiness was expelled. I haven't been able to eat since. I tried to eat a few pieces of deli turkey quite a bit later. No go! Same thing happened. I am standing here waiting for the knot in my chest to subside as I write this. Looks like I have a day of liquids to look forward to tomorrow!?

Yes, getting stuck is no fun...and FYI: Boarshead deli turkey caused the worst stuck episode I ever experienced.

It will be a good idea to be kind to your band for a day with a liquid diet...or at the least soft foods.

You want the body tissues and your band to have a chance to calm down and avoid additional stuck episodes.

It is through experience we learn...

this happened to me tonight.. not deli Turkey, but deli roast beef... nope.. never again.. I started hurting real bad in my chest, then it just felt like the food wouldn't go down or come up. mucus started forming and I went in the bathroom, and finally, out came the roast beef.

well, now I know what it feels like to be stuck! thank goodness I was at home and it didn't last long!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
