I decided on some sourcream chips which I bought Friday. I haven't eaten potato chips in like forever. Well after about the fourth chip. I did it! Yep, I slimed and pb'd. My first time ever! oh no, oh yes...............Now here's my question. I'm ready to eat, but how soon after the yucky stuff can I eat....and what can I eat...a shake?

I'm bad and woulda ate another chip just smaller bites(pencil eraser sized) if I wanted them. There are no hard rules what you can or cannot have after a stuck episode. It's what your body can handle. I try not to get too stuck where I can't eat all day. It's really never happened but I can get stuck easily(and chips would do it) but I can put a couple in my palm and that's it for me and eat in small bites. But I figure a palm of chips is better than the whole bag(what I could have easily done prior to LB)

Oh and my vice are cheetos and the small .99 bag is 3 servings easy for me. I keep them in the console of my car(who knows why), I also stash my minature chocolates when I just have to have them. I think I keep there because if they were in the house I would eat them. In the car is too much effort.

I had quite a few times I have been too tight over the course of my journey. I would usually have a shake about 2 hours after the episode and then try a meal a few hours after that. If your consistanly throwing up I would get a slight unfill. I hesitated to do that and suffered needlessly. I was afraid an unfill would make me very hungry- they didn't.

I have found that drinking a cup of hot tea helps me. It just kind of settles everything down.

Ditto what Bobbie said. In the rare instance when I get stuck and have to urp up the offending item, I get a glass of hot Water and sip on it. It helps relax the band area...or at least that's how it appears to me.

I'm bad then...when I get stuck,slim and throw up I just go back and finish my meal. It usually happens because I took to big of bites and didnt chew well. I was told that after a stuck episode you should do liquids for 1 day to help any inflammation go away that may have been caused by throwing up...I dont do that obviously....
