Last night I had baked pork chops with steamed asparagus. I had one chop and about 7 asparagus stalks.

About 20 minutes afterwards I had a pain in my chest which felt like a huge bubble right under my chest bone. Along with periods of shortness of breath. It felt like I needed to vomit but couldn't? The pain lasted a good hour before I went out and bought pineapple juice and didn't go away until about 1 hour after drinking the juice.

Was I stuck? What do you do when you get stuck and does it happen right after the meal or 20 minutes after you've eaten something?

In my experience, I felt the food that was stuck IMMEDIATELY upon eating it...it sounds like you may have over-eaten...how big was the porkchop?

On the otherhand, asparagus is a VERY fiberous food and fiberous foods are notorious for getting stuck!

So really it could be eitherone...but I know the one time I really overate, I felt like I had a big gas bubble under my chest and it took HOURS to go away!!!

I would stay away from asparagus and other fiberous foods just in case it was a "stuck" issue...it might be your body telling you that you cannot tolerate that particular type of food with your band.

Good Luck!

It sounds like a stuck episode to me. I sometimes have a delayed reaction. Usually it is immediate, but not always. Since the food stays in the pouch for a while and slowly empties, it is possible for something to get stuck a while down the road after you finish eating.

Pork chops can be killer. Be sure to take very small bites. I love them, but they are very dry. I also eat them with applesauce to moisten them. Yummy!

Thank you Timber!

Thank you Coco, I also do the same with my pork chops.. applesauce makes it WAY better!
