So I got my third fill, did the full liquid

for 24 hrs like instructed.

Then it was time to eat and since my last 2 fills

didn't really do much, I was in the same mind set...eating wise.

Yes, I take small bites and chew thoroughly,

this I'm good at.

But I got a very naughty urge to

eat hot wings from KFC.

I never do this BTW.

I got on the highway, going 70 MPH

and took a bite of the wing.

Then my nightmare began.

I got stuck for the first time.

It felt like I was having a mild heart attack

at the same time a vice was squeezing

the top half of my spine.

The salivating started (sliming, is it?)

and my instinct is to swallow.

So I'm swallow and swallowing and it's making it worse!

My stomach is trying to burp but everytime it does

it feels like solids, not gas that wants to come out.

Finally after feeling like I was gonna drown in saliva,

I grabbed the KFC bag and allowed my body

to do what it was begging to do...throw up.

Two big heaves later...normal.

Nothing like hot wings the second time.

I had saliva running down my chin and

I'm so lost in this bizarre moment

that i just dropped the bag to the floor of the car...

and it promptly fell over...spilling its contents.

Don't eat while driving (which I never do).

Don't assume anything about a fill based on previous fills.

Don't fight your body and the signs it gives you.

Somebody please learn from this!

Now...it's time for a nap. UGH.

OMG!!! After reading this thread, y'all have me terrified about getting banded! I am a very fast east eater and take big ole bites of food... maybe it's time to start chewing more when it's way way wayyyyyy before I get the band....:smile:

Hi Susi,

Yes, start practicing! The band will be a rapid teacher though. After a few stuck episodes, you WILL eat slower and take smaller bites, I promise.

I was a very fast eater who took big bites. Not any more. I did try to practice before I was banded. That did not prepare me for reality. But you can learn, as I did! Negative reinforcement is a strong motivator.
