Just had my surgery today and I was reading on food getting stuck but don't see how or what u can do to unstuck it..My question is what do u do when u have food get stuck and How can u get food unstuck? That's my only fear so what do I do. Good Luck everyone on ur Journey!!!!

sometimes I find drinking some water will help food pass through. The water helps soften the food in order to pass through the top of the stomach

Pineapple juice is supposed to be good in case food gets stuck. I've also heard papaya extract/enzyme works too, but I imagine pineapple juice is easier to get for most people.

WHAT U JUST HAD SURGERY???? YOU SHOULD BE ON LIQUIDS.

LATELY MY FOOD GETS STUCK AND NOTHING IS HELPING NOT EVEN THE PAPYA SO I RUN AND THROW IT UP REAL FAST I KNOW THAT IS BAD BUT I CAN'T HANDLE THE FOOD GETTING STUCK I EVEN TOOK SMALL BITES IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE

When the time comes for you to finally start eating, as long as you take real small bites, and chew,chew,chew. Pulverise it, and eat slow you won't get stuck. If somehow you do. (CAUSE WERE ALL DIFFERENT) Drink small sips of warm water. Don't drink cold at all. The warm water will help push the chewed up food down, or bring it up ! You never know. That's why I say chew everything into mush. If you feel anything getting hung up in side, don't add more food to it, use the warm water to wash it down, and then start again unless you feel to swollen. If that happens go to shakes.

You have a long way to go before you start eating. So for now,,, don't even go there. Not unless you want to hurt yourself, or end up in the Hospital

THAT WAS WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG I USED COLD TO PUSH IT DOWN THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO

For me, I throw up when I get stuck. Sometimes I have to kind of make myself throw up by coughing. Like said above, you should be on liquids for now. My doc. said liquids for a week, mushies for a week then solid food. I didn't get stuck at all at first. It happened when I had a fill that was too much. Good luck on your journey!

When I get stuck one of 2 things happen: the first is when I am a little stuck, like pretty much whenever I eat bread (not too often I assure you). It is uncomfortable, bur I stretch out, hands above my head and that sometimes helps. Other times it doesn't and I go puke it up.

Being stuck is a pain in the butt. It's a fact of life now, but I try and avoid it. Kind of feels like something stick in your throat

Thanks for all the input and don't worry i will wait before i can have food..I do 2 days of clear liquids then the third day i can add mushies stuff....Thanks Again everyone
