Weird things happened to me this weekend.



Recommended Posts

On Thursday I had my dinner everything was good. I has quesadilla 1/2 stuffed with cheese and chicken, 2 oz of refried beens and 1 oz of guacamole. Lots of Protein and good cholesterol. I took a Gas X right before I went to sleep. Well on Friday I woke up and tried to have my normal Breakfast, a cup of coffee, a slice of bread and some cheese. I felt stuck at the first bite. So I stop eating, I took a gas x gel tab and I went on with my morning and about 11:00 am I felt hungry, since I was going out with my family to do some errants like 1 1/2hrs away I grab some Cheetos and a bottle of Water. Cheetos is my weakness whenever I can not eat because my band is tight Cheetos will keep me alive. I ate like 3 Cheetos and a sip of water like 15 mins into the trip i started feeling sick, so stuck and uncomfortable. i grab a bag because I knew I was going to vomit. But I didn't I felt to sleep, 1/2 hour later I woke up vomiting the water, thank god I had the bag in my hand, i vomit orange water, even thru my nostrils, I kept vomiting for a good 15 min. Later on my family was hungry , there was not healthy options so I ended up eating some Chinese egg rolls according to them baked, they were good but after a while again I started vomiting but just the water. Saturday couldn't have breakfast after the first bite, i felt so full. I couldn't pass water or anything solid or liquid. I told my husband to be ready to take me to the hospital if i continued feeling like that i was getting dehydrated around 1:00 pm I started taking small sips of Liquid Protein, I manage to take in like 1 1/2 oz, I started drinking water and was feeling better and better. i went to a party and I had for the first time in 1 year and 3 months little sips of soda and I was able to eat some meat and potatoes salad. Today I had been careful but everything ok. I stopped using Gas X because went I was vomiting that was the flavor I can taste ... I think I had a bad reaction to gas X. Any similar cases?

B-52 thank you for responding. I read that gas X was good for the burping, which I do constantly, i burp like a heavy beer drinker all the time. Even at night, I wake up in the middle of the night, full of gases, my chest hurt, I have to sit down and have a concert about 3 to 5 minutes of straight burping. It is embarrassing but is the way it is. I decided that I wont pay attention to it. If someone tells me something I will let them know that I can not controlled so i rather be healthy than polite.

Could be a virus going around and not related to food at all....

this is just an observation, but how much bread and cheese are you eating? Bread expands when Water is added and cheese is very binding. Would you put a piece of bread and cheese down your kitchen sink drain and add Water?

My suggestion is to go back to the basics on eating. Lean Protein and cooked veggie. Skip all the refined carbs and high fat cheese.

I never had this problem and since I've been in the green zone I've been able to have a slice of bread for breakfast and some mozzarella cheese. I can not do eggs or vegetables anymore, i get horrible stuck episodes. I really believe that this is cause by stress, I am very stress out for the holidays. A lot of things to do before going overseas. I need to calm down and meditate more often. Thank you for your comments.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
