First "STUCK" RIGHT NOW!



Recommended Posts

Having my first stuck moment right now. I've tried burping but no luck. I read awhile back about a man that said he takes a swallow of soda to get a burp to release the food. Tried it and all I got is BAD hiccups.

Wait - hiccups JUST NOW stopped and food isn't stuck in throat anymore. Anyone else experience this?

Hiccups to me is the first sign I'm about to get stuck, and I better stop.....when you get stuck, you'll know it....with the slime and all.....and in my opinion, I would NEVER drink anything carbonated to relieve it....

I do sip warm Water while standing over the toilet....that seems to speed up the process and gets it all out....

That has been my experiences, anyway....

Time is your best weapon for stuck episodes. Most all stuck episodes last only 30-60 minutes. Drinking anything only adds pressure to your esophagus and pouch and that is painful.

Just remember to slow down and chew.

Personally for myself, when I get stuck and start sliming and the pain is almost unbearable, I go to the bathroom and get rid if it. It's usually just something small I did not chew good enough.

I've never tried the soda, I would suggest nothing or a tiny sip of warm tea or broth.

      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!
