First time getting STUCK.....



Recommended Posts

Wow, I finally see what everybody was posting about. I was carefully eating my lunch, chicken salad, and the phone rang. Forgetting to chew, I swallowed a little too much and wham:eek:.

I got the phone answered, but had to hang up right away. Kinda felt like I tried to swallow a grapefruit...LOL How many of you started sweating when this happened to you. I looked like I had been on a long walk in the sun. Sweating, nose running, eyes watering:cry:cry:cry

I really hope to never go thru that again. The phone can wait from now on......Dave

I'll remember that when I start eating. I was just banded and I'm on Clear liquids right now.

But, Holy Toledo! Have you lost all that weight since you've been banded? Is that 8-30-2007?

Yep, all since banding the end or August. I have been working out/walking daily and it really helps. I'll bet you cant wait till the mushie stage. Good luck, its the beginning of a great journey

I just had my first major stuck feeling last night. I can now relate too to what everyone has been saying. I was sitting at the bar eating dinner out for the first time. The first swallow...omg!!! I am glad everyone had their eyes on the football game I think I looked paniked. I thought I was gonna pass out... What an awful feeling.

Cindy, I'm glad I was at home when I did it. I wasnt sure what was going to happen next. I was real glad when it finally went down though, instead of up..LOL

Dave, I was so afraid to go out and eat and I guess I won't be going out anymore...lol At least for a while. You have done awsome on your weight loss. What do you eat on a normal day? I go for my first fill next week. I have done well without the fill yet but I am so hungry, I really have to be careful not to overeat.

What do you eat on a normal day? .

For Breakfast I have a Protein shake made w/ 4oz of skim milk.

lunch is usually 3 oz can of chicken or tuna mixed with FF Miracle Whip and pickle relish, on a toasted low carb tortilla. Healthy request Soup if I am lazy.

dinner is another Protein Shake w/ milk and a Dannon Lite and Fit yogurt blended in. Snacks are sugar free popsicles as needed...LOL

Yep...you really need to EASE into public eating when you first start out. My first public experience I was already on solids, but I chose to have a lobster bisque because I knew I would be safe getting down a liquid in public. I have had two instances since then of having to PB at the first of a meal in a restaurant. I pretty much have it down to an art now and I can tell within the first three bites it things aren't going well. These two instances, I excused myself from the table, went into the restroom and let those two bites slide out. Things seemed to relax after that and I was able to finish my meal. I am VERY aware of eating VERY slowly when I go out to eat though.

Dave,

You really are doing wonderfully... You darn men, once you decide to do it, it is almost like the fat melts off.

My husband will eek up the scale 10-15lbs, he adjusts his diet for two weeks and then he is back to normal.

I'm trying not to hate... Just kidding...

Keep it up, you are an inspiration to all of us metabolically challenged women out here...

      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.

      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!!
