Lemon Seed, Anyone?? - ThinnerTimes

HAMPTON5555 · 01-28-2005, 03:33 PM

While sipping a refreshing glass of water with a freshly squeezed lemon wedge, I swallowed a lemon seed. Does any one know if I need to be worried. It feels a little pressure in my pouch but not really uncomfortable. I tried eating some chili and drinking tea after a while and all goes down fine.

Any pearls of wisdom for my boo-boo??

It will pass lemon seeds are really small and I dont think It should cause a problem unless you feel sick or something then just call the doctor but I dont think It will harm you unless you ate like a handfull of them now that could cause a problem..lol...Hope you are doing good..

Maybe you will grow a lemon tree ...lol. Too bad your pouch will not hold it.

Thanks girls
Kelly, you must be feeling pretty good since you took on a new job as a comedian!! LOL
If I grew a lemon tree in my pouch I could have fresh lemonade every day. With Splenda of course!!

I am already fine. Quick recovery. I guess the chili helped move it out.

I don't know if anyone told you ladies or not, but you are NEVER to swallow gum! I didn't know that until about six months post-op. Not that I usually swallow my gum anyway. But I've had moments in the past where I was in church or something and had nothing to put my gum in...so I would just swallow it. NEVER AGAIN! Big no-no!

I thought we were not allowed to chew gum? Is that a temporary thing?

Rain you had chili? Today, I found it difficult for me to not binge on chocolate. I wants so badly to eat some! But did not...good girl! I am turning the other way and it shows.

Rain:

I was never told not to chew gum. However, other patients told me they were told not to chew gum. I think they may tell patients not to chew gum as a preventive measure.

I do chew gum, but never swallow it. A couple of times I freaked myself out because I couldn't remember where I put the gum and I thought I had swallowed it! It scared me to death!

Anyway, the rule is to NEVER swallow gum. It could cause a blockage and result in hospitalization or further surgery.

Rain, your new picture is fabulous! You look great!

Hi all,

Kelly and Dr. Callery told me not to chew gum at all. Most likely because of the possible blockage.

I chew gum all of the time and yes they told us to be careful not to swallow it. Sometimes, I am paranoid because I can't remember if I spit my gum out. I always go back to the trash can and look to remind myself that it is there and not in my pouch!
