Post stuck episode



Recommended Posts

Just curious how long you all go back on liquids for after a stuck episode? I had a terrible stuck episode last night (bread is the devil) so I was on liquids for Breakfast and lunch today and pureed for dinner....am I rushing it? I'm scared I will get stuck again.

It really depends on how stuck I get.

I very rarely get really stuck. It's usually no more than me making some weird faces and entertaining my kids as I exclaim "dang stuck!" for a couple minutes. In these cases, I just go back to normal food the next meal.

A couple times I've gotten REALLY stuck. Twice I even PB'd. Those times I go on liquids the rest of the day but back to normal food the next morning.

Really, it's a learning process. You have to learn what's best for you.

I've only had sticks in the evening. After that happens I'm done. I resume my routine next day

I think in the beginning I would just not eat for the rest of the day. Now if I get stuck I'll just let it run it's course, when it's over I stop eating, and later on, I'll eat again. Maybe, usually I don't eat much of anything anyway.

You're not moving too fast though.

      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.

      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!
