I swallowed a piece of him



Recommended Posts

I snorted.

You're not the only one! Haha! Anyways, I think you should be fine with the gum. You're stomach is still good at digesting, only thing you've limited was the "fitting" aspect of it, so if it were a problem you would have had it come out one way or another by now. Just try be careful lol. (I've done it before though haha....no avoiding it. That stuff is slippery!)

I had my surgery on the 8th of April and just a few minutes ago I had a piece of gum in my mouth and I started laughing and I swallowed my gum should I be worried

My dietitian said to be careful if u chew gun cuz swallowing it can cause a blocked stoma --? Not quite sure what that I think it's an opening- your newly out I'm sure ill be ok

But

I'd call your surgeons office now and talk to them- maybe they need to do an X-ray to bake sure it's ok just to be safe

I thought we were not allowed gum? I thought after surgery there was no gum because it lets you suck in more air Same is not using a straw or is that maybe only. While you're recovering ?

Gum? Bummer! Move along folks, there's nothing to see here lol. Seriously, since you didn't have bypass (stoma) I wouldn't worry about it too much. It'll all come out in the end(pun intended).

Yea I was told to stay away from it for awhile but once my Dr put me back on a regular foods I started chewing it again. I haven't had any trouble so far. I'm a pretty fast healer I was at the gym just a few days after my surgery. So that's why I chew it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
