I haven't had that stuck feeling yet...banded a week...and am not looking forward to it! It sounds more than unpleasant! Thanks for the blog, it helps knowing what others are going thru...

I am sorry you had to experience that, but I have experienced that feeling several times too many. I was too tight and everything I put into my mouth would get stuck. It's always best to take very small bites and chew very well.

Yeah it is not a fun feeling! I find that there are certain things that no matter how slow I go or how small my pieces are I get stuck on them anyway, like chicken breast. Also, sometimes my band is tighter around that time of the month, in the morning and when I am stressed. I just go slow and learn something new all the time! Good Luck!

I haven't had any "stuck" episodes to date and was banded sept 14th...I find whenever i eat any meats i always have something to dip it in next to me, i never eat a dry piece and chew chew chew small small pieces. Good Luck!

I know that feeling and about the only thing I can recommend is to go buy Papaya Enzyme or a papaya. This helps break down the food. I will recommend the enzyme, it's much cheaper and can be found at Wal mart or many places that sell vitamins.
