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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
