  1. Thank you very much for the pineapple tip. I've been stuck for two days and was about to go in for an unfill, but amazingly, the pineapple juice worked. I got a fill about seven days ago. It went fine. liquids for a day then back to "normal" food. Five days later, (Saturday) I ate part of a boiled potato. It got stuck. PB'd but I didn't feel like eating for the rest of the night. I was able to drink Water, however. the next morning, I had a Protein shake then ate some roasted meat at around noon. Something got stuck. I made it all come back up. Everything. But after that, not even water would go down. I tried, warm water, salty water, milk, chicken Soup, coffee, and Protein drinks. It all just sat there. I could tell nothing was going down, and after about 30 minutes I would be tired of just burping the stuff, so I'd make it come back. Today was the second day of having nothing. I could feel I was starting to get dehydrated. I was about to call the doc to set up an unfill, when I decided to get on this site to hunt for options. I saw the pineapple tip, and wouldn't you know it . . .IT WORKED? It sat in there for a few minutes. I went to the bathroom anticipating that I was going to have to bring it back up just like the others. As I started to "assume the position" I felt a different type of "gurgle" and a different burp come up . . . like it came from beyond the pouch. Relief. I'll have soup and water for the next couple of days. I've never been so thankful and ravenous for mere soup and water.
