Help! I have a piece of chicken stuck



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Any help would so appreciated.

I am 4 weeks post gastric bypass and the nutritionist said I could start with some steamed chicken so I did, but it's got stuck well and truly!

It's been stuck now for 48hrs, in the beginning the pain was overwhelming and had me shaking uncontrollably but now it has eased to a dull ache with intermittent spasms, but I can't get anything but small amounts of liquids pass, tablets just reappear so does food.< /p>

Does anybody have any tips on helping the chicken digest?

Thanks in advance...

Quickly make yourself throw up. It happens to me sometimes. I use the opposite side of my toothbrush to put down my throat. It will help I guarantee

I have been trying on and off the whole time but I don't have much of a gag reflex and have had no luck at bringing up anything but saliva.

Hi yes I did call him when it happened and he suggested soda Water to try and push it out - tried it and have had no luck. he had offered to pull it out by endoscopy but can't do it till Tuesday (Sunday AM here atm).

I was just hoping there was some other "trick" lol :)

Yes well if it's still stuck on Tuesday I will make the 2hr trek to his hospital for the endoscopy but I suppose I will just have to cope till then :(

There isn't much point as we are rural and if I rock up to the local hospital ER they will just tell me they can't deal with it and to go down to town.

Taking a risk if there is something really wrong.

In South Australia, I think you are right though I might see if I can get a babysitter and borrow some money and make the trek this AM.

      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!!
