Recommended Posts

So sorry to hear that Angela. Keep your spirit up. I know it's hard...but I truly believe that the lord will never put more on you than you can handle...and when you think you've had all you can take...pray and tell him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep me updated on how it's going!

I thought I had bn going well, 4 weeks out. I'm on soft foods, but tonight was multi tasking and didn't chew enuf. I swear I thought I was going to hv a heart attack. food stuck was sooo painful. And felt really nauseous. think I was getting a bit cocky and thinking I was bulletproof. That sure a lesson I don't want to repeat!!!!!

Sounds like I few people hv problems with scar tissue. I pray I not one. Tonight was really scary and painful.

Panda that prayer was beautiful. Thanks everyone. You're all very kind. I went to a different hospital earlier in the month for a 2nd opinion so to speak but they dismissed me and said i'd have to go back to where the surgery was originally performed. I had another endoscopy yesterday (#4) and the g.i. dr said my surgeon may have to go in and do a revision. I am still in the hospital but supposed to be getting discharged today. We shall see. I am leaning on my faith not my fear cuz fear and faith don't mix

Sorry guys, but I'm almost twelve years post op and I still get that feeling occasionally! It's mostly when I try to take a pill though.

Anjela424-any kind for me. Doesn't matter how small. It might be the worry of swallowing all that Water at once that goes along with taking a pill.

I had chicken today and it got stuck to the point I was throwing up foamy bubbles. It sucked. I called the nurse from my surgery and she told me to soak it in lime juice.

The second thing she mentioned was to mix a warm Water with a little meat tenderizer and drink it. It will help break down the meat. Thought I'd pass it on

Jackie you are about to make me cry bc I am having the exact same issue and I has an uppper g.i ten days ago and today and I'm scheduled for the endoscopy tomorrow morning. I was very hopeful that that would fix everything now my hopes are dashed! :'(

Remember to sip, little spoonsfuls, and chew to a mush, sometimes its just adjusting habits and not a stoma. And this rule applies for a lifetime, your exit will always be on the small side,to this day I count my chews anything less then 30 and there's a chance it'll stick.

Oh,when something sticks, lay down on your left side and strech out you torso. I can't explain why but it helps food to pass. It may come up or go down, but it does pass.

I had the structure or stoma (different doctors use different names) after my surgery four years ago. Here's the great news, I don't have significant issues eating today, the endoscopy (the stretch) did the trick.

But the devil details: your gonna eat purée (you can Water it down if needed) until its fixed and sometimes you need more then one stretch. I had two, and you have to wait about 30 days between each to be safe. The most my surgeon ever did was 6. If you don't get it treated the sitting food creates an ulcer which hurts like you can't believe. Be sure to keep following up with your surgeon.

Hang on, if its more the swelling and changing habits there's still help.

I've had 4 endoscopys already. Hopefully I won't have to get anymore. I also had an ulcer. They say both issues are cleared up but I don't know. I've been taking 2-3 bites of things here and there...every few days....Nothing major but I'm trying

I feel so bad for you. I don't knowwhat you are going through but I would go to another doctor. You have been suffering too long. I know this doesn't happen to many people but this is terrible. I wish you well. I wish there was something I could do to help. I'll be praying for you.

Thank you Berniec

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
