4 Weeks Post-op - 1st B.P

I need a fill !!!!!!

I thought i would get that out of the was before I started so I won't harp on about it...

Well, the weight- loss or should I say weight- stay has been pretty consistent over the last 3 weeks....... 0.... nil......zero....zip.....nudda... nothing. but hey, at least I am consistent and it ain't going upwards. So I am still 5kg down and I am glad of that at least, it just seems unfair that 5kg were gone in the first week and the nothing from then..... All in good time.

I had my first bad experience with food on Friday, I had a slimeing and BP episode.... and it was aaaaawful. I picked up some Chinese for the family on the way home from work on Friday night (that's our takeaway night) some fried rice, omelet and a beef dish, served myself 2 spoons of rice and some omelet and ate it and all was good. I then in my infinite wisdom thought I have a crack at a piece of meat from one of the kids plates , it did look yummy and one piece wouldn't kill me... right ?...... WRONG !!!!

I no sooner swallowed it and felt it stick and it started to hurt, not alot... but enough. I started to do this clearing the throat type of cough.... then trying to burp.... nothing. So I thought i would wash it down with water, but the band was not gonna give it just made it worse. I could feel something starting to ooze back into my mouth. I went to the toilet and lent over the bowl and I had this ooze coming back up from my stomach (sorry gross I know) It wasn't a vomit, it had no force behind it......... This must be slimeing or sliming. It was nauseating I kept trying to burp, but nothing was happening, and if I contracted my stomach the ooze would project like a vomit. At this stage my husband was starting to have kittens, he had followed me to the bathroom and was really worried, he could see me struggling ( he was about to break out the heinleicht manoeuvre at any moment)

Finally after a few minutes of this, I burped and it was a productive burp (BP) which released the meat or the rice or whatever was causing the blockage, and GOD it felt better. I had really started to get a bit panicky and was relieved that it was over. I am really surprised how taxing it was on me thought, I felt exhausted afterwards and flopped on the lounge like I had just run a marathon.

Lesson learned------ Chew chew chew------ Slowly Slowly.

I really am not looking forward to that happening again


OH and did I mention I need a fill......LOL
