Beware of Dried Fruit!



Recommended Posts

I had some Cereal at my mother-in-law's this morning, and since she "knows I am eating healthy these days" she put some dried fruit bits in it with the Special K flakes. I didn't notice at first - I thought they were part of the grains. Very sweet of her, and I didn't think they would be a problem.

Stupid me.

Well, I think a bit of dried apricot or apple got stuck in the band area. Oh my lord. Such mucus. Such horror. For hours. All day. I am only feeling better now, at 10pm. I stretched and stretched to try to wiggle it down. I tried drinking warm liquids and would just throw them up. Not until I finally threw up that bit a little while ago would ANYTHING stay down.

I am just sharing this with you all since I don't want anyone else to venture into dried fruit without warning.

Anne:

Others here on LBT suggest keeping pineapple juice on hand because it can help with stuck food because it is so acidy.

Sorry to hear that you were suffering all day. I know it's awful when it happens.

But just so you know, pineapple juice does not seem to move along chunks of pineapple :)

I've been eating canned pineapple for a snack, got a chunk stuck the other morning (too early for pineapple!), so I tried drinking a little juice.. was the similar affect of drinking Water during a stuck time.. oy.

      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!!

      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.
