suddenly tight/stuck??



Recommended Posts

i am about 10 lbs from goal and holding. i havent had a "problem" for a time now. i basically eat whatever i want, just controlled now. i dont really get stuck or pb or slime or any of that anymore. until day before yesterday.

i was eating a sliced up apple with Peanut Butter for a morning snack. i think it was probably about the second bite that seemed to slow down. so i waited. no pain or anything, took another bite and the same thing. began to slime this time and some discomfort. began to full on slime and pb. by the afternoon i was so tight i couldnt eat anything but could gingerly sip fluids. didnt eat anything that night. next morning took a sip, a SIP of coffee and NO!! was not going anywhere. took a good 45 minutes to pass. so i was figuring just swollen/irriated from previous days mishap.

well, instead of getting better today, i think i am worse! wth? i havent tried food, not even mushies! but every sip just sits and sits. all day i have maybe had 10 ounces of fluids. i tried hot chocolate, thinking the warm would loosen me up. no. tried some crystal light, maybe got in 2 ounces over several hours. got some pineapple juice a couple hours ago. i have been able to drink 6 ounces of it. i thought maybe it was working but just a few minutes ago i took another sip and its backed up. i am having horrible heartburn. S.O.B. and that is both a sob and a son of a...lol

so now i am just debating on how long to wait before i call and schedule a slight unfill. this is the pits.

You should call first thing in the morning. You don't want the weekend to hit with you not being able to get liquids in. The unfill should allow whatever it is to pass and then you just need to wait for the swelling to subside. Good luck and after the unfill, you can maybe try some children's motrin to help with the swelling. If it wasn't so thick, I would suggest trying it now, but you may not be able to get it down.:w00t:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
