Food stuck - bite conscious



Recommended Posts

Well I am 3 wks post op sleeve and I was doing so good. Then I had a hard boiled egg and didn’t pay attention to the bite - awful! I was in pain for an hour but I didn’t vomit. Then again today I wasn’t paying attention to the bite and again pain and suffering- except this time I had to get rid of it. I vomited 2x and finally it felt better. But now my throat and esophagus are burning. Doc says back to liquid diet for 2 days. I have learned my lesson and I hope this helps someone else.

Damn! ((hugs)) So glad you didn't have to go to the ER though!!!

Hopefully someone will come by with the exact enzymes to take when this happens? I can't remember what kind and want to get them and keep them here. Think they are a mix of papaya and bromelain maybe? And they will help dissolve food in your tums so you can pass it? But can't remember exactly. I've wanted to get them to have for emergencies.

I'm about where you are right now. And chew chew chewing is soooo hard to remember, isn't it? I have to cut things up so tiny it's ridic!

I know ! Enzymes ? Hmm. I’ll call doc in am and find out about them. I just have to remember to drink Water !! Ugh. It is hard to remember to chew - I resolved to counting 40 times per bite - it’s hard to do when the bite is the size of a dime! Ridiculous [emoji6]

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
