Waterbead boy 💦

Medical journey blog. On July 11th 2021 I did a really stupid dare where my friends bet me to eat a bag of waterbeads. Now I've got a huge bezoar and always in and out of the hospital. 𝗔ppa𝗥ently this isn't what inflation blo𝗚s normally do!! I'm just dumb and did something stupid. DO NOT DO THIS. I could have died. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 that I'm even alive.

Is this what you guys want?

How big do the beads get? Do they keep getting bigger or is there a maximum size?

it's a little random, most of them got to around the same size but I still cough lots of small ones and occasionally a real big one makes it all the way through. So far this is the biggest😅

Does anyone ever mistake you for being pregnant?

All the time. People put their hands on my stomach and everything

I don't know how to tell them the truth so I make stuff up like twins or next march 😅

[alexibarnell]

Do you ever think about eating more water beads?

I'll never do this again but with how long it's taken to get them all out I swear I've gotta be sleep eating them or something

[alexibarnell]

stomach growls so much I think it's talking. Just made a noise like "Hey, Jake" I don't know a jake. Scared me.

So everyone one being full of microplastics is actually wrong. Alexis Barnelli who is absolutely bursting with microplastics is an outlier and should not have been counted.

bursting is right 😅
