Hi everyone,

I have something stuck in my band, I think it's some sliced ham and it's killing

me. I have been in pain since 2.30am this morning and it's now 11.30am. I was

a little sick but I couldn't bring it up only saliva.

Any suggestions? I can't get in touch with my doctor.

I can still drink fluids.

OOOOOhhhhh...Lois, I feel for you!!! Have you tried eating something soft,

like yoghurt, or something cooling like icecream? Maybe that would push it

down. I feel really bad for you, I know how awful that must feel!!! Hope

something works for you!!! Let us know how your doing.

Hi,

Thanks Terri for responding to my plea. I tried the yoghurt but it hasn't

helped.

I still feel a little sick and the pain won't go away. It's not acute just very

uncomfortable.

Kim, your words of encouragement helped too.

I contacted the hospital where I had my op and they contacted my surgeon who

says if I get worse to ring them back, otherwise I'm to contact him on Monday.

He suggested I stay with the soft foods for now.

I don't feel comfortable lying down or sitting up so I hope this feeling passes.

It's been 14 hours and although I don't feel as bad as I did at first, I don't

feel that good either.

Poor you !

Lois, this is probably a stupid question but did you try vomiting ??

Maybe a couple of good retches will dislodge it. I have never had

anything that seriously stuck but I have had a couple of things

temporarily stuck and it is very unpleasant.

I would maybe try to drink things that are not milky as milk will

increase the mucus, could you bear something fizzy or maybe something

like still lemonade.

Gook luck let us know.

I'm with . I find if I jump up and down, or, (heaven forbid) go for a

little jog, or, just archbackwards and take a big breath, whatever it is always

drops through. Hope you dislodge it soon. It is the most horrible feeling isn't

it.

Steph.

Debby,

I have been having trouble with bread too. One thing I have just found he

will eat is to lightly toast a GFCF waffle (Trader Joe's or Kings has them)

and cut carefully through the center making two slices. Then I spread a

little Spectrum organic coconut oil and some almond butter to make a

sandwich. It tastes yum and the oil keeps the waffle from hardening.

Many parents just give up bread, at least for a while because it really can be a

tough issue. I send my son to school often with chicken. I make chicken with

Kinnikinnck (the Canadian company) crispy coating mix and the chix is yummy!

You can make the chicken look like nuggets,

or fingers and your child can look like he's eating " normal " food.

Debby,

The gfcf bread is a real challenge. My son wouldn't eat any of the gfcf

crackers either so they were out too. We finally eliminated it for a month

or so and then reintroduced the EnerG tapioca bread. It has a much better

consistency than the rice and my guy likes it!!!

I was told by a friend that Vicks shouldn't be used on a child under 2 because it suppresses the nervous system like cough medicine. I have used it before on a one year old but I won't again. On an infant I have used a cool mist vaporizer, saline drops (1 tsp salt per cup of boiled water) and I love Infant Tylenol Cold, it really clears their nose up so they can sleep and nurse.

I have to say I love this stuff! It is called 's Vapor Bath. I would put it in our big tub and close the shower doors. I took Blake in with me. He loved taking a bath with mommy, and with the shower doors shut the vapors stayed in the tub area batter and really helps clear his nose. I also used Infant's Tylenol Cold. I works great. There's one with and one without cough medicine.

I hope you little one feels better soon.Tina

I was told by a friend that Vicks shouldn't be used on a child under 2 because it suppresses the nervous system like cough medicine.

We have some Vicks vapor cream that's for babies 6mos and older I think. It's much milder and I have used it a few times when Drake has been especially congested. Also, I like the Vicks Vapor Bath stuff--I've even used it and it does help to loosen all the mucus.....

(I've got like 160 emails to get through so maybe someone has already posted this info....sorry if it's a repeat!)

Lyndy,

Sorry to hear of your woes of the last couple of days. I have had

the same problem with fills a number of times and soemtimes it was

just a matter of swelling after a fill which calmed down after a few

days and sometimes I would have to have a little fluid taken out. If

you are managing some fluids you will be able to get through the

weekend until you can see the doctor again. I was in PNG when my

problems occurred and sometimes it would be a week before I could see

the doc, once I went 11 days without fluid. So long as ypou are

managing some fluid you will be okay until Monday.

Hope fully by then the swelling may have calmed down and you will be

able to take more in, I certainly hope so.

I often had swelling problems after a fill and often it would calm

down after a few days. If it doesn't you will have to see the doc.

Regards,

Cath
