I think I almost died! Or it felt that way, anyway :(

Questions about PBing, Sliming or just plain throwing up...I've been reading about it but had not experienced it until this morning and OMG it was really bad!! First off I blame myself because I was eating something VERY bad! Yesterday I had a slice of toast bread with a tiny bit of Peanut Butter and I was fine so today fro Breakfast I had the same thing, only difference was this was first thing in the morning vs yesterday it was in the afternoon. It went down fine and when I was done I came to sit on my couch and it started! WOW I still can't believe how bad it was, I felt it get stuck and my chest was hurting, I tried Water and pineapple juice and nothing, it actually got worse. I started walking around the house and I started getting very anxious like I was short of breath. All this lasted about 5-6min but it felt like FOREVER, my nose kept running and it felt like I needed to sneeze and burp at the same time but nothing was happening, I was home alone with my 3 kids and was very scared. TMI*** Finally I threw up but it was all slime, and I felt a bit better...Now Questions; Why didn't the bread come back up? What if this happens in public? What can I do if it does happen again? Should I stick to liquids today? I had my surgery a little over 3 weeks ago and I had first fill during surgery, my next one is this tuesday.

P.S Yesterday was the first time I had bread, so today was day 2 and probably last! LOL

I WILL NOT HAVE BREAD AGAIN!! (for a very long time)

Thanks everyone!! Lots of great tips, I think I'm going to forever be scared to even eat anything that's not mushy! Not sure I'll ever have a piece of steak, I never was much of a steack eater anyway, good thing! I have my second fill tomorrow and I'm worried! I'm not scared of needles, I'm just scared they are going to hurt my incisions.

Definitely do liquids for a couple of days. I tried to continue eating after a stuck episode and that was a really bad idea. Once I switched to liquids things started improving.

You will find that some things that bother others won't bother you and vice versa. I have a lot of trouble with chicken salad for example. For some reason chicken salad gets stuck almost every time.

This journey is such a learning process. I've only been stuck twice, badly, and it definitely changed the way I eat. LOL
