As some of you know and have read my posts I'm still learning to eat and chew, yes chew, I'm 4 months post op and today I was craving a devil food, yes a devil food and gave in to it, I ate 10 potato chips. Knew I shouldn't have because the Devil took over, He did, literally, in a few mins I started PB'ing, I was sick to my stomach and I did it several times. Now I'm paying for it tonight, I hurt really bad between my breasts, in the middle of my chest, is this normal? I'm sore. Almost like if I were to do a sit up or a crunch it hurts really bad. NO MORE CHIPS, Devil's food!!!

I'm not sure if I can answer this or not for you. When I PB food is lodged and it usually makes me salivate a lot, slime a lot and several times food comes up automatically then sometimes I will vomit forcefully eventually to get it all to come up at the end but not always. That's about all I can tell you about my experiences.

I have had things stuck from time to time I find drinking some soda does the trick something to do with the bubbles help dislodge anything stuck! Also I had to go to a nutritionist before I got my band and I was told drink 15mins before your meal as it clears the pathway then don't drink again until 20 mins after your meal! If you drink while you eat it's like a blocked drain! For some it pushes the food down to quickly and allows you to eat more remember it takes 20mins for your stomach to tell your brain it's full so take your time when you are eating!! This little tool will increase your weight loss! I hope this helps
