I'm 99% certain I have a piece of mostly chewed Jerky stuck in my pouch right now. I can't keep liquids down on top of it, and there's a tightness in my chest. How do I help it pass through or come up so that I don't feel like crap?

you could TRY to drink as much Fluid as you can get in to make yourself throw up and push it out- i have done this and it's NOT fun...and I have broken blood vessels in my face throwing up doing it...but it worked. Or if it hasn't been long just give it time.....?

Well, either the papaya extract or the session before I went to get the papaya extract fixed it. But blegh.

I had beef Jerky stuck once- now i won't eat it- :( unless it's really soft. found one brand that is really good and soft- country archer I think it is. But I eat too much beef jerky if I have it, so i don't buy it

Hey, properly made beef jerky's good for you. About 9-11 g of Protein per 1 oz serving, and about 50-70 calories. No carbs, low fat.

That is true- i just feel like I might get too much sodium

do you make yours in a smoker or air fryer ( I know people who do both)

food dehydrator, actually. I'm just hoping this bad batch doesn't mean the dehydrator's bad. A replacement one is expensive.

When food gets stuck in my sleeve I just suffer through it without trying to push it down with fluids - that always seemed to make it 10x worse

I read about dissolving some meat tenderizer in an ounce of Water and drink that. I’ve never tried it personally.

As long as it dissolves the Jerky and not you. Remember the kids song " I Knew an Old Lady who swallowed a Fly" Sounds a little like it. But I hope things work out. before you need to go the E.R., mine would give me no chance to explain, cha cha cha!

      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!!
