Feel like something is stuck



Recommended Posts

Had surgery Monday. Been home since Wednesday all I have had is Water and Protein Drinks. Actually took my pills and noe I feel like something is stuck. Am I always going to feel this way? The pain medicine is making me sick right now at this moment I am regretting this alot. Tell me it will get better

Hope yo fell better! Call your surgeon if you have any doubts! I am 3 1/2. weeks out and it got a lot better for me! The pain meds didn't agree with my stomach either. I used zofran for nausea. It helped a lot.

Has anyone thought to take half a dose then a couple of hours later take the other half. My daughter is on a lot of pain meds and that is what she has to do occasionally in order not to vomit them back up.

If you just had your surgery on Monday then you could still be swollen and that could be causing you to get stuck with your pills, I know I had to either crush or have liquid for my meds for first days after surgery if it continues def call your dr!!!

I was told we can't even try to take any pills til after 3 months.

It's probably that.

I think that maybe the way I tell I'm full. Felt better this morning, had some Protein and Water and this afternoon did not take any pills. Had some protein chicken Soup and there is that feeling again. Will try to keep track of this. Might be a good thing. Don't know yet. And I am not even taking half of a half of pain meds.

I had trouble taking pills at first. Now at six weeks it is better as long as I go slow and space it out. I was told that if your medication is time released you shouldn't crush it. It will get better I'm sure:)

      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!
