3 weeks post-op, day 2 real food...

I just took a bite of mango and swallowed too quick—I think is going to be too big. It feels bad already and it isn't even in my stomach yet... Is there anything I can do early, before it gets stuck? I'd like to avoid throwing up as I'm not too long post-op... Is there anything I can do?? Or I guess I just have to wait.

Hope your doing ok....I have never had a stuck yet...I wish I had restriction ....

I'm scared...

I have this lump in my throat and I'm burping some, and I feel uncomfortable. But so far no extra saliva and no pain... Praying this goes down and wasn't as bad as I fear...

Well, it's an hour later and I'm still very uncomfortable and still burping. No extra saliva, no pain, but I feel like there's a golf ball in my chest. Hope this eventually goes through. :-( I did some reading on here and I'm going to try to sip a little hot tea. Maybe that will make this go down better. UGH!!!

Ok, I posted first around 11am, and now it's almost 1pm and I think it's passed... About 5 minutes ago I felt a weird "glurp" in my chest and a small relief in pressure, I wasn't sure if that was it passing through because I'm still not totally better, but I do think that was it... I'm still uncomfortable and still have pressure and burping, but I don't have that golfball feeling anymore... Guess I'll stick to liquids today.

When ever you have a feeling of being stuck try walking around and putting your hands over head sometimes it would help move the food. I'm 2 1/2 years out and used to get stuck all the time moving always helped. Good luck and don't worry it will take some time to figure your band out but you will and you will love it.

Thanks. I was feeling like such a loser for messing this up day 2! I appreciate your words coming from someone who's been doing this a long time...
