Lesson Learned

By sweetsoutherngirl

So I knew the day would come, but I have been so careful. I chew until I cant chew anymore but over the weekend, I had my first major stuck episode. My hubby had to be rushed in for emergency surgery on Saturday and my family brought food for myself and my kids. I decided to have a couple bites of fried fish and I did not chew well at all. It was horrible. I felt like I was being stabbed in the side. It took about five minutes for everything to pass, but the pain was awful. So lesson learned, chew carefully.

    I am so sorry to hear that your husband was ill. I pray everything works out for him. Yes, I do know the feeling very well. It's almost been 2 years since I was banded, and I should know better but eating too fast has caused me a lot of pain. Yes, I would advise everyone to chew until you feel like it's nothing left to chew on. It will save a lot of stuffering in the long run.

    Sorry to hear about your husband and your stuck episode. They told me to use Papapya Enzymes if you ever have a stuck episode. They said you can get it at Walmart, but I haven't looked yet. I'm going to get some, just in case.
