"Note to Self..."



Recommended Posts

So as I was leaving work yesterday afternoon for my hour drive home, I thought it would be a good idea to take a bite or two of a slice of pizza to keep me going until I got home. Boy, was I wrong! I pulled over on the highway twice to PB and then finally had to stop at a gas station. I've had food stuck before and have PB'd as well...but it has never been this bad.

So note to self...don't stuff your face with food before getting in the car! And make sure to always have extra napkins in your car as well! Lesson learned! :cool2:

Haven't dared to try bread products or Pizza Crust yet. Sorry you had such a negative experience. I have been stuck once...on a deviled egg. Lasted about 6 hours and was miserable. I had hard boiled eggs many times b/4 and they went down great. I am not so willing to try them ever again. We all learn after something like that, don't we?

I've not had pizza or bread products yet either for that same reason. But I have had the PB in the car episode. It was on one, and I swear it was only one, french fry I stole from my husband. I now have the car stocked in napkins! We were in the mountains looking at the leaves and elk and just grabbed lunch on the run and I wasn't being real mindful of how I chewed the french fry I guess.

I haven't had any PBs yet, thank goodness. I've been stuck a couple of times though, and I have a mental list of those foods to avoid. I've had pizza a couple of times...always thing crust and always crispy. No problems there, but I can only eat one or two slices where before I could finish off 1/2 to a whole pizza. I really haven't had the desire to have bread products.

I had someone tell me that she keeps a box of sandwich bags in her car for PB episodes. I personally think that sounds yucky, but if I ever have a PB I might change my mind. I think the napkins sound better, but I'm passing on the other advice in case someone else likes the idea.

I have had the PB in the car experience and TX Diva - thanks so much for passing that on. I was trying to drink Water to help it down and let me tell you it would have taken a lot of napkins to absorb all that water! I'm putting sandwich bags in my car as soon as I get home.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
