I SCREWED Up to all newbies

Well few weeks post op decided to have a piece of meat 1oz. I did not puree it but chewed it very well. It got stuck. I had massive cramps which occurred about every few minutes. It lasted for 12 hours. After eight hours I went to the hospital. I got dehidrated. They took numerous tests and xrays and all negative. It just took way to long to pass. I could have really hurt my self. I was nausous too. So they have me some meds and iV for a few hours until I felt better and had no cramps. I learned my lesson. PUREE PUREE and more PUREE.

Actually there probably aren't any newbies on this board as it is the Nov. 2003 board. It has been over 3 years for us but I am sure that each of us could tell you about stories of having something stuck too. We can all relate to that. Good luck to you and your WLS. Jeannie 244/118
