I was banded 2/11 and just had my 2nd fill two weeks ago. I finally have what I think is restriction. I was fine until last night, I took one bit of pizza...first time since the fill and chewed, chewed, chewed and swallowed this small bite. The problem is it just kept creeping back up and I started having pain in my chest. I swallowed a few more times but I started sliming and ended up throwing up. I was very uncomfortable afterwards but just didn't eat the rest of the night. This morning I tried to eat my usual eggbeaters and turkey sausage and it just wasn't going down right, I felt really uncomfortable again. I didn't throw up and I stopped at the first sign of pain. I'm thinking I probably should have done liquids for a day. I plan to just finish out the day w/ liquids only to let my stomach calm down.....any advice???

where do you buy papaya enzyme pills

great question (where to buy those wonder pills to take when stuck)...I'm waiting for the answer too!

I got them at the health food store INC.

Oops. GNC

I read once before that Walmarts sells them...

I don't know, I never tried the stuff.

Oops. GNC

thank you!

Thanks Shirley I did liquids the remainder of the day I got the fill and the next two days then mushies on third day as per my surgeon. And I didn't have any problems eating or getting stuck until I took that bite of pizza, literally one bite. Needless to say I won't be trying that again.

Hey Jersey, I missed pizza so much I got creative and with a small 7inch tortilla, a little sauce, low fat cheese and turkey pepperoni or vegis you can have an awesome pizza without so much bread to get stuck. Bake on 350 for about 10-15 minutes...DELISH. My sis is one month banded and she just tried it and had no problem. Now I don't get jealous of others eating pizza. I just keep the fixings on hand and know I can have that for dinner.

Thanks Steffie....that's sounds so good! : ) I am definitely going to try that.
