PB (Productive Burp)
I had my first PB on Monday. I was playing on my laptop & eating some left over chinese food, after I swallowed a piece of chicken I took a sip of orange juice. Ok not a sip more like half a glass. As soon as I swollowed I had major chest pain. I've had food get stuck before so I knew the chest pain was because something was stuck, but this time it was 10 times worse than any chest pain I've had before. I could feel the OJ sitting in my throat. I thought the OJ would come up by itself so I ran to the kitchen sink to make sure I didnt vomite all over the carpet. After about 5 minutes to intense chest pain & no PB I decided that I should make myself vomite. I knew it was the only way to get rid of the pain. I had barely stuck my finger down my throat when up came the OJ. Man oh man what a relief. Its hard to believe that drinking OJ could cause you so much pain. The chest pain was worse than any pain I had after the surgery.
I dont want to have to go through that again. Since then I've been extra careful to chew my food properly before swollowing!!
Constipation
When I was thinking about having lapband surgery I asked one of my Aunts about her experience with lapband surgery. She told me about one of the bad things about the surgery was constipation. I kinda fobbed her off because I had never really dealt with constipation before (I have a mild case of IBS so constipation is never something I've really had to worry about).
Now I wish I had taken her more seriously. The last couple of weeks have been hard for me. I had my sister & Mum stay with me for a week so my little routine went out the window & have been battling with cramps, bloating & constipation.
I have been taking a soluable fibre supplement for about a week now but it doesnt seem to have had much of an affect. Over the weekend it got to the point where I took a laxitive to try to clear my system. The laxitive did work but had me running back & forth to the loo for a couple of hours along with some bad stomach cramps.
Yesterday I looked up constipation on the net to see if I could find a solution. An article that I read on a health website said that a lack of water contributes to constipation.
I've never really been much of a water drinker. I regularly get headaches due to lack of water consumption. So before I take another laxitive I'm going to dramatically increase my water consumption to see if that helps.
Fingers crossed!!!!!
