Ouch! Ate a small piece of fish last night then remembered I hadn't drunk the water my doc says we should have before a meal to move any mucus plug in the band (nice thought). Gulped half a glass of water, forgetting the band, and OH MY GOD - such pain, I thought I was going to pass out, had to keep walking around, trying to burp, to do something to move whatever was STUCK. Took about a minute and some delightful sliming and the fish (which I guess got moved into the band with the water) moved - the relief!! But I never want to experience that again. The darling husband tried to see if I was okay, and I could just croak out, "leave me alone" before I struggled out to the garden. Didn't want the kids to see me in pain. Anyhoo, that taught me a lesson.
The good news is that I've lost 2 kg since my fill 8 days ago - hoorah!!!

OUCH!!! Been there before. The water really does make it worse - and I'm like you.. when in pain, leave me alone and especially don't offer me water lol. Glad the fish went through!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you had a bad episode. I too had my first bad one on Monday!! And you are right, you don't want to add fluid when you are already stuck!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I do sometimes when I am not sure if I am getting to the point where I may be getting stuck, I will take a baby sip of water to see if it goes down easily or starts hurting. If it didn't go down easily, then I slow my eating way down to allow the food to process through better.
It's certainly no fun and I've found that water makes it worse for me. Congrats on the 2 kilo loss!
