do soft foods or liquids for a couple of days or resume eating normally?

Last Sunday I had a stuck episode and I had to do liquids for a few days after that b/c solids wouldn't stay down.

I had another stuck episode a few minutes ago and I'm wondering should I try again later to eat regular food or go to soft stuff instead? Today I wasn't chewing well enough.

Last weeks was from the food being really dry.

It depends. I've gotten stuck on something that previously was no problem, in spite of chewing well and taking a small bite. In which case, I won't take a second bite but will eat something that goes down more easily. If I don't have any further problems, I don't worry about it. If I'm having a day where it seems like everything is giving me problems, I'll go to soft foods, figuring my band has temporarily tightened. I just kind of play it by ear from day to day.

I have found that sipping on hot tea after a stuck episode helps me. Then depending on how I'm feeling, I may be able to eat later in the day. Otherwise, I'll stick with liquids for the rest of the day and try to go back to solids the next day.

First, pineapple juice if you have something stuck. It helps make the food pass and really moistens it up to help it go down.

I usualy do liquids for 24 hours after somethings stuck if I still have some pain from it. Otherwise I try to eat but that doesnt always work either.
