I've seen some people post about the "stuck" feeling. I'm wondering if someone can describe the feeling and what signifiance it has. I have been eating (10 days post now) and I keep getting this feeling of a ball like "stuck" feeling just above where my port is. Any ideas?

Oh you will know! You will feel it in your chest and throat.

hmmmm.....sounds pleasant >.<

this feels more at the port area, so I cant figure it out.

Mine feels like a brick landed on my chest..... You I'll know it when it happens

You will definitely know. Let's hope not on CHristmas!

For those of you who have had the stuck feeling....do you wait a bit to see if it passes or automatically try to make yourself throw up? I am terrible at trying to make myself throw up but I tried and failed. Now I'm kind of waiting and drinking a lot of water. Thoughts?

It usually passes in 10-30 minutes. When I have thrown up it was "easy" and painless. But, everybody is different.

Try tiny sips of water but don't gulp or chug. Sometimes the water helps move the stuck food along. But not always.

Easy to throw up but you can wait

It feels like you swallowed a matchbox car. Sometimes it passes but it hurts. Sometimes it jyst passes no hurt. Other times your mouth will water then you have to bring it up which is easy because its still in your throat. I can just make like im gonna throw up and it just comes out. Im not sure if thats a pb. But thats what happens to me. I always get a stuck feeling in the morning if I try to eat before drinking something hot. Water goes down hard...But at night I can eat anything no prob...its weird.

wow that does not sound fun at all lol so how do you avoid this problem? trial and error......? or is there a actually reason for it that can be avoided?

Ahhh, it passed. Phew. Won't do THAT again!!!!

Its easily avoided..but old habits die hard...small bites..chew chew and chew again...and Wait between bites!

my doctor says when I have this feeling to drink pineapple juice; it will move one way or the other . . . good luck

Pineapple juice only makes me puke...

Most of the time I get stuck not to much pain just keep burping up what I ate and if doesn't go down on its own usually comes back up. I was also told papaya enzymes for a stuck.
