Food & Liquid Is A No No I Need Help



Recommended Posts

I'm having the hardest time with eating with no liquid, Every time I eat, I have liquid close by and end up drinking during my meal. I've gotten food stuck & I felt is if I was going to choke without the Water to push it down. Sometmes I spit up when I'm too full, or eat too fast, or It's just not going down. Does anyone else have this problem with liquid and meals? :help:

Something that my doctor suggested: he said if you must have something to drink while you eat, fill a glass with ice and have it next to you with your meal. Whatever melts while you're sitting there, you can sip on -- that way it won't be too much to wash the food through, but yet you can get a little wetness in also.

Prebanding, I was one of those ppl that had refill after refill, now I get a glass of Water with my meal and a to go cup with ice, so I can take it with me when I leave, much more enjoyable after you leave.

Just remember if you drink with your meal, you're pushing your food through and encouraging that stuck feeling and you'll lose that full feeling a lot faster.

Drinking and eating isn't a problem for me......one sip and everything comes up. I can throw Water up at any temperature. I drink Propel and Special K protien water.......When we go out to dinner with friends I have a Cappuccino

when they are all drinking. Caffine is my drug of choice. It keeps me from wanting bread. Bread is another bad choice. Sometime I chew a garlic knot for taste....but never swallow it......then the night would be over for me.That would get stuck in a NY minute.

      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.

        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!
