First time to get stuck

I ate all day long, just fine. Unfortunately I can eat normal and drink pretty normal. I haven't lost weight in a week! I'm drinking tons of water and eating the right amount, I think!

Anyway, last night I made ham and cheese hot pockets and I ate one. About 3 bites down, I stupididly ate a normal bite and didn't chew. Holy crap! I thought I was going to pass out. I panicked! I tried to sip water, but it wouldn't go down. I just stood with my head over the sink trying to calm down! :thumbup: Finally about 15 min. later the feeling left my throat. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER again! That seriously sucked!:wub:

I know how you feel, I have exeperienced that all to well.. It really hurts like crap....chew,, chew and chew...

hot pockets doesn't sound like the best choice because of the doughy bread....i'd put that on hold for awhile.

I'm guessing you didn't meet Mr. Stuck's friends Mr. Slime and Ms. PB? I hope you never do...stuck is scary bad. -BG

There is an old song that Ella Fitzgerald use to sing....Chew Chew Chew...Chew Chew Your Bubble Gum! It sticks in my head now when I eat. Sounds funny but it works for me. I am so sorry you went though that. I was overfilled last week and went for an unfill today. I now can speak from experience from that episode! When we experience things for the first time, we sure pray it's the last!

Thanks everyone! I hope that never happens again!

So sorry that happened! I'm SO SCARED of my first time being stuck, pbing, etc. I guess we all have to go there some day. That's one reason I've been scraping the innards out of the tortillas, pockets, etc. Too chicken to try bread. Also, helps keep the carbs down. Take care!

My surgeon told me to keep adolfs meat tenderizer in my purse and mix 18 of a teaspoon with a teaspoon of water. Get it down and it will help with stuck things.

oops that should be one eighth

My dietician mentioned that either Pineapple juice or Papaya enzymes will work to get a bander "unstuck" too.
