Is Food Stuck In My Lap Band?

I am exactly 1 week post op. I have been mOstly good with liquids, buts st nite I ate watermelon, I think it's stuck? I feel ok, just full...... I think I'm actually unsure???

Would I knw if the food was stuck? Is it painful? Would I knw for sure?

I kinda feel like there's fullness in my neck.

BTW I'm so glad I found this forum, so comforting to knw I'm not the only one with crazy food thoughts :)

Also does anyone have thoughts on scrambled eggs start of 2nd wk?

Unless you ate the whole thing, you're unlikely to be stuck. It's a little early for foods like that, but you knew it was too

soon, but thought you'd try anyway. You probably irritated your stoma. I hope you were given a list of foods, and when

you could eat them. Your stomach is still healing and you need to give it a chance. You need to go back on liquids for

a day or two to see if that full feeling goes away. From there on, follow your dietitians instructions.

Ditto !

Your job is to heal ! So don't start putting things to chew in your mouth, when it should be liquids.

Once you heal. Sure scrambled eggs Mashed Potatoes, Hearty Soups, even Chili...

but give it a chance first.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !
