Omg-Scary Stuck Episode Last Night

I NEVER EVER want to experience this again!

My husband had made an absolutely delicious ham bean Soup. I scooped out 1/2 a cup, and decided I was just puree it. While it didn't exactly look appealing, it was genuinely delicious. But then, stupid me, thought I would just try 2-3 ham pieces, and without thinking, ate them. I must not have chewed them very well, and BAM, they were stuck! Forgive me french, but holy shi*. I could feel it just stuck in the middle of my breast bone. I walked around, and around the house, tapping my chest. My poor 10 yr old kept asking are you OK. I replied, I will be. But, I wasn't, not right away.

Within minutes, I had tears, and eventually I threw it up. It was that lovely slime everyone has talked about, along with a little of the soup. Sorry for the details guys. I was so scared. This isn't anything I want to visit ANY TIME again. Oh my God! I was so upset with myself, and scared. Mind you, I'm allowed to eat solids as I'm 1+ month post op with 1 fill.

Lessson learned? You bet...... CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEWCHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW

Have I made myself clear?

OMG I am so sorry, I have not had this and hope I never will...I am day 11 today and I pray pray that never happens even though everyone says I will at some point. Thank you for the details as I have been asking what exactly happens when something is stuck.....Dang! Take care!

I have been there! At least you were home. I was in a restaurant eating and talking and laughing and I wasn't paying attention to my chews. I knew when I swallowed I had a problem. Excused myself went to a public restroom praying please no tears and all it came out fast thankfully I returned scared to eat and taking tiny bits. Wow o wow! I learned to concentrate when I eat. If I'm going to talk I can't eat fork down :)

Been there, done that many times. I get distracted by someone talking to me or watching TV.
