Ever get something stuck?

OK gang, Have any of you ever gotten something stuck in your pouch? like a pill? I had the worst experience this week with chest pain. I was lightheaded, shaky, and hurting. It happened while I was in the Dr. office for something else. Well, several hours and a cardiologist later, everything went away as quickly as it appeared. Of course my heart is fine. I wasn't dumping - I hadn't had much to eat that day and no sugar anyway. The only thing I can figure is that some of the tablets that I took got stuck in the pouch and caused all this grief. Do you think that could be it? Fine now, Ronda

That's kinda what happened to me last friday when I was doubled over in pain. I've never felt anything quite like that. I guess we really need to get loads of water and chew and chew and chew and chew. Pills can be a real treat. I'm just very careful since the incident. Smiles! Donna

Yea, I've tried to pay attention to the water and the chewing, etc. myself since then. I don't ever want to experience that again! re: other post - I hope you can find another doc that you like as well. Do you live in an area with plenty of choices? Wishing you well! Ronda

Ronda, I am really glad you posted this. I do not know about you but lately it seems no matter what I eat it makes me feel bad. Last night I made fetticini alfredo, poured my sauce over veggies like I always do and I felt terrible. A few weeks ago, I ate a good dinner that was turkey and green beans and I thought I was going to die, I was in so much pain. I was driving to the support group meeting and thought I had to make a pit stop at the hospital. One thing I was glad that I was not feeling well, because that way people and their support do not think that this surgery is easy. I am really trying not to eat anything bad, my friend told me that he would have tried to talk me out of the surgery if he knew me when I was the fattie, if he would have known the side affectst that I have been having. I do not know if this is normal or if it is just that I am over eating. Some days I feel like I am forcing more food than I can hold while other days I just want to give up on eating that I feel so bad. Lori 258/138

I agree, Lori. You never know from one meal to the next how you are going to handle it. Sometimes I've even gone back to just protein shakes because I don't want to deal with food. I know that's bad. I think we just need to really concentrate on getting our water in and chewing really good and eating really slowly. Another thing I've noticed is that some meats like turkey and pork are not moist enough. I've gone back to some of my beginning rules. Maybe that could help you too.? What did your support group say? I'm interested to know how many of them could relate. Ronda

Oh, the stucks I have known. Diet coke is all that gets me unstuck - that and several barfs. Sounds like stuck to me. It stinks. *hug* ~Lara
