Ok, so after reading a few more posts I guess the tablespoon of mashed potatoes I ate last night must have gotten alittle stick. I tired to throw up and all that came out was thick clear slime. So I drank some hot Water thinking it would wash it down. More slime but no water came up. Slept through the night- best night sleep. But this morning I'm still sore inside- does that make sense? How could I have handled this better?

My guess is that you are a little sore after your stuck episode. It should settle soon. After sliming, I would have waited a little while before drinking but I don`t necessarily believe that it is the cause of the pain. I don`t know how far you are on your weightloss journey but be mindful of your intake. Saying that, it` really trial and error at times. Provided you go by your surgeon and nutritionist` advice. Good luck.

Your band doesn't like mashed potatoes.. Did you use a baby spoon size? And may I add, I pray I NEVER have one of these episodes!! Nasty! I just re read your post and you answered that spoon size question.

I have never been sore after at stuck and sliming episode, but I definately don't ever feel like trying to eat again for a few hours later. I remember the first time I got stuck.... a tiny piece of chicken that was too dry!!!! An hour of sliming and PBing, plus I made the mistake of thinking.... maybe a couple sips of water will get it down, learned real fast liquids just make it worse. I have found that my band is tighter in the mornings, and if I have some hot liquids an hour or so before my first meal it helps.
