In my experience if I drink Water it instantly comes back up, sometimes this "unsticks" the food, sometimes it doesn't. The food is eventually going to go through the band or you will end up throwing up. When I get stuck I slime really bad. This either helps the food go through too or makes me throw up. I hate getting stuck. Hope it pass' quickly!

When I get stuck, I make myself throw up. It is such a terrible feeling and so much pain. Get some papaye enzyme pills. That helps, but also makes me throw up and then I feel so much better.

It is painful to get stuck. My doctor told me never to try to throw up when I'm stuck because it can cause your bottom stomach to prolapse up through the band and cause even bigger problems. As per his orders, I do nothing. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the pain to go away. It's a great deterrent and after an episode I'm much more vigilant about what I eat for quite a while. Then, when I forget what getting stuck felt like, I think I can have a particular food and next thing you know, I'm stuck again.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
