I have been stuck a couple of times, but very briefly. It would hurt for a few seconds to a minute and then work it's way on down. Last night I came home from my run/walking program and was starving since I had not yet eaten dinner. I ate a few chips with salsa and then made myself a turkey on wheat sandwich, cut in half. I was so hungry I guess I wasn't paying attention to how fast I was eating the sandwich. I got the first half down and it started to HURT. I couldn't get it to come up (although it felt like it wanted to) or go down! I was hurting so bad, I couldn't hardly move. I started gurgling a little bit in my throat and mouth but no real saliva and no PB. Just lots of pain! After about 5 minutes it finally worked it's way on down. I was done! Couldn't go near another bite of food for the rest of the night last night! So I would say that was my first real stuck experience I suppose. I definitely do not want to go through that again anytime soon! I just recently added bread back into my diet and sometimes I can eat it and sometimes it hurts. Last night would have probably been okay except I know I ate it too fast! Oh well, this is a learning experience. Lesson learned!!! :biggrin:

While we are telling our nasty stories....

I had my first major stuck yesterday which ended up with me highly distressed and then I pbed in my husband's lap.... it was lovely. And all of this after he told me that he didn't want to go out to eat with me because I couldn't eat anything anymore anyway. Maybe he's right....I have been liquid since this happened and totally freaked out.

sparkplug, i use to get the panic feeling because i choked once on a piece of steak and couldn't breathe and getting stuck has the same sensation. if i just relax and realize that i'm breathing, then it seems to help.
