Agony...



Recommended Posts

I am sick, with a cold...and lots of drainage. Thick stuff (like mucus) does not go thru my band very well. But I was doing okay. Until I ate lunch. It got totally stuck, and it hurt like hell. For two hours, I was in agony. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn I was having a heart attack. The pain in the middle of my chest was soooooooo bad. Finally, I opened a can of human Draino (pineapple juice) and sipped it very slowly. Some of the blockage came back up and the rest went on down. At any rate, I am unstuck, but very sore. I will be having warm liquids for at least the next 24 hours.

Right now, I do not like my band. I will like it again on Thursday, but right now, it is not my friend. If I could, I would kick its little silicone ass.

Carlene - I didn't know about human Drano. I will try that the next time something gets stuck. Hang in there. I had some sort of awful sinus type infection for three weeks this fall. I was off work for a whole week which plays havoc with one's syllabus. But I recovered and you will too. All my sympathies.

I haven't laughed that hard in ages LOL. Sorry you're not feeling so well. I so know where you're coming from! Hope it eases soon and allows you to have an enjoyable Thanksgiving meal :eek:

Oh .. and I'd never heard the pineapple juice thing - I'll have to give that a try instead of coke (doctor suggested "OMG something's stuck" cure).

Sorry, Carlene....Tis the seaason. It seems like everyone is either fighting off a cold, beginning a cold, or staying away from a cold (family member).

Love the pineapple thing. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Carlene,

I posted about the horrible PB I had last night on the support forum. I get really upset when I PB. Last night I PB'd on a filbert. I'd been eating nuts fine for months and months! The band is so fickle! I too am on liquids for 24 hours and will attempt a soft dinner. I feel for you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
