First bad stuck episode.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I admit I was stressed out and ate a bit too fast. I thought I chewed it enough, but I didn't.

This brings to mind many questions. Specifically do you all burp when you eat? It can sometimes me spasmodic with a hiccup then a burp. They aren't always connected to a food/drink so I don't know what to think of that one.

I now know to go the shake route for the mornings and try to cut small bites of food. NOT stress out right before I go eat and just try to go slower. I had not had restriction for so long, this one threw me for a loop. Right back to reality!

Sorry it happened to you today, but it's happened to the best of us!

If I haven't chewed well, I will sometimes burp or hiccup, and it always comes as a surprise to me! :thumbup:

I hiccup AND burp like some 20 year old frat boy!!! Those are my signs to slow it down, first come a few burps and then the hiccups are my cue that my meal is now over. My PA said "if you have a band, you're going to burp". Classy!! That will do wonders for my dating life. LOL

I breezed through my first fill and felt little to no restriction. Then came my 2nd fill 2 1/2 weeks ago. The fill itself was no problem, but getting used to the increased restriction has been a challenge! I'm really learning what this 'tool' is all about :drool: Many episodes of eating too quickly, too much, food that's too cold/solid, or eating when I am stressed have ended in burping, hicupping, hard painful stuck lump, and sliming like a St. Bernard dog for a 1/2 hour before PBing. It's been QUITE a learning curve for me, but I know each incident could be avoided if I follow the 'rules' of eating small bites slowly, CHEW CHEW CHEW, and stopping at the first signs of full. Oh, and not drinking for 30 minutes after a meal is not just because it will wash the food down more quickly - it's because you can clog up like a drain and the liquid just sits on top until you PB it out!!! I'm learning the hard way, but I wouldn't change this adventure for the world! I'm learning a much healthier eating style that will keep me at a healthier weight for life - and that is SO worth it!!! Hang in there everyone!!! :confused:

You took the words right out of my mouth, Mamadot - exactly what I am experiencing. I had no problems after my first fill, which caused me to be a bit lax on small bites, and mega chews (except for steak and calamari). So even though the nutritionist warned me that could change at any time, I was careless in following rules, experienced a few 'tight' incidents after my second fill. Realizing I could bear the discomfort, I continued not focusing when I eat, and this week I experienced my first PB experience after eating salad too quickly and with no dressing. That experience should have been enough to slow me down, but nooooooooo. After waiting about half hour, I woofed down some Pasta. An very painful double PB was the result. Hope I can learn from my mistakes, but sometimes I can be slow on the uptake.

It's so nice to know I'm not alone! I'm a bit slow on the uptake, too, :( but it is so comforting to hear others are experiencing the same things. Thanks so much for posting - we'll all get the hang of this 'tool' at some point. Have a great weekend, all!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
