Stuck and sliming for the first and last time!

Getting stuck and sliming is so not the business! I ate part of a chicken wing while driving Saturday afternoon. I had just gotten up and was on my way home with my kids (spent the night at my sister's house) I know it sounds crazy but sometimes I forget to chew and eat slowly like I should. I think the reason for that is because I had never gotten stuck or had any bad episodes with the band. (besides some slow moving bread last week) I instantly felt that stuck feeling and it didnt go away after a few minutes like before. The pain kept getting worse. Then the infamous sliming started. I was using a napkin after first to get rid of it, but it came a point that I had to pull over and spit it out. When I got home I laid down and after about an hour, the pain subsided. I never want to go through that again!!! This last fill brought me to 6cc's and my fills usually have a delayed effect. I tighten up about 2 weeks after. I will be more careful from now on!! On another note, I have on a size large skirt and a size large blouse today!!!

I know the feeling. It happened to me on Ritz crackers, not once but twice so no Ritz crackers for me. I kind of laughed when you said sometimes you forget to chew. I think that is all of us. We are so use to eating fast. Had my surgery on Dec 31st and still have to stop and think to chew. Congrats to you new sizes. I am almost there but not yet but soon. Have a good day.

Yep, it's not crazy, that's always the case when I get stuck.. forgot to chew properly! You'd think after more than three months I'd learn, but obviously not!

My first was a banana and it was an hour after I ate it. I was driving and had to whip the car to the side of the road! Two years later it still happens because I get distracted and dont chew enough when I am around other people! I guess I am a slow learner! Its all worth it as I am now 4 pounds from normal BMI!
