Stuck For 2 Days



Recommended Posts

my physician's office says to keep pineapple juice on hand for these issues; it will move a "stuck" issue . . . one way or the other :)

hmmmm, must be the acid in the pineapple. Tomato juice should do the same then. Or any acidic product that ALLOWED.. I always say call the doctor! They always have an on call physician, good ones.Please dont take this as gospel, and I dont endorse, but I looked yer issue up the other night, and at some point it was suggested a small amount of warm Water, with just a sprinkle of meat tenderizer, is supposed to undo a bad "stuck." IT SOUNDS VERY WEIRD and thats why I remember it no doubt. Anyhoo thats what I read, but please read my disclaimers! LOL! Sandy

I have learned keep a room temp can of soda and tip a tiny sip and wait. If the food doesn't go through try another tiny sip. It usually will make me burp or a weird feeling then the food goes through. Its the carbonation that helps move the stuck food. This is the only time I drink soda but usually two tiny sips does the trick.

One nutritionist said.that she heard of.people using.tenderizer (msg). But I'm not sure if it is mixed with a little Water or taken dry NPR do I know how much, but I would not think it would be a lot.

The best thing for being stuck is what they call “drano”. I was stuck about 4 days last Thanksgiving. I was not too tight just stuck. But I could still drink some liquid slowly. Another Bandster told me take some hot coke and mix some meat tenderizer and lemon juice. Go to bathroom and take one big drink and it will go down and right back up with whatever is stuck. It works trust me, in 3+ years I have only used this twice but works fast. You must be ready cause it will shoot back up lol

½ cup diet coke, (diet sprite, etc.) 3 teaspoons meat tenderizer, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, it is gross but works and very fast.

It could have also been that perhaps u were slightly too tight and the substance of the food wouldn't let it pass the too small opening. This happened to me and luckily I was fine after my dr took out one CC. If it ever happens again and it may, go in the same day u notice it will keep your band from slipping.

Good luck.

I cannot even imagine having something stuck for 2 days!!! I would be beside myself for sure. So glad it worked out OK and definitely a reminder to me to be diligent in the chewing and food choices!

It's just me but I would not go in and have Fluid taken out if I was stuck until I tried everything. I think messing with your fill level leads to problems. I understand why people do but I would not, but thats just me.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
