Feeling Horrible- PLEASE READ



Recommended Posts

GM-I'm not feeling too good its feels like my food is stuck in my chest. I didn't get any sleep last night and I didn't eat anything that was not liquidy other then some egg drop Soup with the little chips that goes in it but I let them dissolve in the soup. What can I take?

I am so sorry you are having a rough time. Unfortunately this might have to run its course, I am not sure there is anything you can take to make it pass. I would go back to liquids today to try to flush your system. If it does not pass by the end of the day, I would give your doctors office a call.

Honestly I have had eggs do this to me before.

It will pass. I assume by chips you mean the fried won ton strips. Likely they were too heavy for your sleeve to handle. You could try an ant-acid like chewable tums and walking around. I had this happen once. It was uncomfortable to even try and sip warm Water. I took 2 tums & my omeprazole and then walked around for a bit. I had eaten some macadamia nuts. I wondered if the fat content was too high for my sleeve to handle.

It only happened that one time so I'm not really sure what was the cause. It was really uncomfortable and I was afraid to lie down and go to sleep until it resolved. Needless to say that was a long night.

Unfortunately that can happen with different types of food, or if you eat too fast or not chew enough. I have had the sensation of something stuck last over a day before.

I still get it occasionally at 7 months out meat is usually the culprit.

I find sipping a hot tea helps move the offending food out and gets it unstuck.

This has happened to me in the past a bit. The best thing to do is to get the food back up. I am no way condoning throwing up, but the food is stuck in the stoma area and has yet to make it to your small stomach. It is a terrible feeling. I've tried to walk it and it didn't help. Small, slow bites is definitely the way to go. I would also watch eating anything tortilla for a while. I tried a tortilla shell ( very small) and the first bite got stuck and didn't agree with me. They are definitely a food that went on the avoid list.

Best of luck!

I have found that rubbing down just under my breast bone really helps. Also Tamg26k is right if you get it back up you will feel so much better.

      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!!
