45 min ago I got a piece of burrito stuck. I threw it up and now I keep dry heaving and spitting up saliva. When will it stop. It hurts

Are you making yourself throw up? It should stop on its own. Do you have any papaya enzymes you can take?

Walmart has them.

I'm so sorry for you. I know it hurts. Has it stopped now?

I too learned the hard way. Can't eat any bread or tortillas.

Be sure to get some papaya enzymes. I keep a bottle in my purse and at home with all my pills. They don't always work but most of the time they do.

Glad you are feeling better. Unfortunately, trial and error is the only way you will learn what you can tolerate.

I thought papaya enzymes only broke down meat, not bread? do they work on things other than meat?

Greg

That's what I thought too. I bought them but haven't tried them yet.

I got stuck on Monday night, I had a few bites of Roast Beef and a few bites of Pasta, I have been stuck ever since, I tryed drinking hot tea, warm coffee, warm pineapple juice, noting will go down. I have not been able to eat anything or drink since Monday night. Doesn't sound too good to me. I had LB one year ago, this is the first time I have ever had any problems. I also tryed chewing the Papaya tablet. but it just came back up. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you haven't been able to drink since Monday, in my opinion, you need to see your doctor ASAP. Hopefully, you'll just need an unfill, but don't wait because you'll become dehydrated. Sorry this has happened to you.

Bradley18, I agree with Kiz. Also the longer you wait, the tighter you'll feel because dehydration causes the band to get tighter.

Call your doctor now and go get a slight unfill.

I was also under the impression that papaya enzymes were only for meats too. I've seen people recommend them for other foods though. I've used them two or three times, but only when meat wasn't going down comfortably. They worked like a charm. Even though I've rarely needed them, I always keep them in my purse, just in case.

RE: Papaya Enzymes

Contents: Papain (from papaya)

Bromelain (from pineapple)

Amylase

Amia, powdered (gooseberry)

And the bottle reads:

Supports digestion, Papain and Bromelain act to break down Proteins into various amino acids. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates. Amia (gooseberry) supports enzymatic activity.

Hope this info. helps all of you,

Donna

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
