question for all post-opers

Its been 2 month and 2 fills later. I just recently started losing weight. Its only been 3 pounds but Im happy with that. My question is this:

Until my second fill I could eat whatever I wanted with no porbs. After this 2nd fill....sometimes I eat a few bites and I feel it getting stuck, it hurts and IM done. Other times I eat normally. I never know what its going to be. Last night my family went out to dinner. I ate 2 bites of fish and spinach and drank a gulp of water and ....blah. I sat there for 20 minutes trying not to throw up and then it passed. I was able to eat small portions of my meal and everything was fine. I was drinking water while eating.

What is the deal? Does anyone have suggestions of how to NOT have food get stuck? I know to eat slowly ( I dont have a choice in that) and I know I cant do heavy carbs. Just wondering if anyone has found something that works for them. Its so embarrassing to having that feeling when you are out to eat.

My suggestions would be to chew more times than you think you should have to! Also my doctor has me seperating my liquids from my eating. It takes a minute to get used to it but it does work. If the unpleasantness you are experincing continues you should ask your doctor. Good luck with everything!!

Welcome to the club!~I was done 3 years ago - and this has been up and down ever since. Dont get me wrong - still happy with results....but so many things can influence this ....it is crazy. I get too tight (stress, weather , ovulation,???) then I swallow something wrong or too big or too fast....then I throw up....then it gets irrated and even tighter....then I cant eat anything....back to Dr....then too loose ...etc etc etc etc. ....bad circle reaction. So good luck and dont feel embarrased - seems that we all go through that at some point
