I had my first "stuck" incident today. Pretty sure from eating too fast. That was fun....said NOONE ever. Ouch...I panicked a bit. Knew it was coming back up...went to the bathroom....coughed...and the foamy yuckiness was expelled. I haven't been able to eat since. I tried to eat a few pieces of deli turkey quite a bit later. No go! Same thing happened. I am standing here waiting for the knot in my chest to subside as I write this. Looks like I have a day of liquids to look forward to tomorrow!?

Yes, getting stuck is no fun...and FYI: Boarshead deli turkey caused the worst stuck episode I ever experienced.

It will be a good idea to be kind to your band for a day with a liquid diet...or at the least soft foods.

You want the body tissues and your band to have a chance to calm down and avoid additional stuck episodes.

It is through experience we learn...

Yes..it was Boars Head Deli Turkey! Yikes.....I will think twice before eating that again! Thanks for the info.

this happened to me tonight.. not deli Turkey, but deli roast beef... nope.. never again.. I started hurting real bad in my chest, then it just felt like the food wouldn't go down or come up. mucus started forming and I went in the bathroom, and finally, out came the roast beef.

well, now I know what it feels like to be stuck! thank goodness I was at home and it didn't last long!

That sounds horrible! Thanks for the heads up and I will probably never eat deli meat again!!

Thanks for the info!!!! Note to self.... Stay away from the deli meat.

I remembered this conversation as soon as I spit up the first bit.. yuck!

I probably didn't chew well enough, but still.. I doubt I will take the chance again. just a good reminder that my band is really in there. :-)
