I read a lot about certain foods getting stuck -what the heck does that mean exactly? Does that mean you have to throw up, burp, or simple cough?? My nurtitionist also mention food getting stuck in the opening of the pouch? Am I committing myself to a lifetime of getting sick?

Thanks for all the replies about foofing! lol Okay-one more question -when food gets stuck and you need to vomit does that mean you need to force yourself to vomit (fingers down throat) or that you suddenly feel like you have to vomit? Is it just a quick vomit or are you over the toilet barfing. I know it's a gross question, but I need to know what I'm in store for! Thanks again everyone!

Sometimes I wait it out and see if it will go down. Slime will come, and come, and come. Sometimes I can hang over the toilet and work my stomach muscles and work the stuck item up and out. Other times to speed things up I do the finger down the throat thing. Being stuck is quite painful. I want it over with as soon as possible.

Another cure is to drink down a glass of Water quickly, this will bring everything back up and out, without any retching.

I can also work my stomach and get the stuck item out, I dont mean to sound negative, I guess I am, my only issue is i wish someone had been honest with me before surgery, I read and read and read , talked to my doctor and I was told, "sliming from getting stuck rarely happens"....BS!!!! I just feel like I was cheated on facts, whatever you choose you have the knowledge you need
