I did a bad thing... please help!



Recommended Posts

I had gastric sleeve surgery April 15 2019. As I write this it is April 20 (6days). I just made a big error by eating two crinkle fries ( well chewed) The first one was ok and the second was going down very very slow down my throat and I was drinking liquids to push it down. As of right now, my stomach is not in pain. My stomach feels fine. My main concern is that it feels that it is stuck further down my esophagus. I’m drinking tea and Water to help it go down and I’m very scared and nervous. I totally regret it and I definitely learned my lesson. Never again! Please can anyone help ! What should I do?

Nothing to do. Just let it go down. It may be that it has already gone down but your esophagus was a little irritated.

You'll be fine. It will either come back up or go down.

Yeah you learn after. that while you can control some things you're fatalistic about others. Sur it doesn't sparkle, glitter is over-rated in the first place, but you can And will still with a smooth steady flow. You are still functioning, , your pilot light is still lit, and you realize it was all due to plan, God's, not yours necessarily. But Baby it is still a pretty good life so smile😝 at it all!

If you get a pain in your sternum area that's normal. When I eat fast or a bit too much I get a pain in my sternum area. I have to walk it off and I don't consume anything (solids or liquids) until the pain subsides. It does after awhile of walking it off.

Thank you for all the post! I’m relieved. Afterward my stomach was growling and I had the runs after some warm Soup so I believe it came out. My esophagus and sternum feel a little sore and my stomach growls here and thee when I drink liquids but with no pain. Thanks a bunch!

We all learn by trial and error unless someone tells you in advance. I am thankful for the info and support I get on here. Although my course through May not be the same as someone else, there is still much info to be gl3an4d. And fe3l so good when Ms X or Mr Z had this, tells me,i won't die either!

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
