Liquid motrin and stick to liquids for a few days. I'd recommend finding a good protein shake you can drink. Every time you get stuck you make your stoma swell and you have to start all over again getting the swelling down. Go back to the basics of your band...fluids first...then try mushies...then go back to regular food slowly. Make sure your first bite is small and put your fork/spoon down in between each bite.

I thought I read somewhere you shouldn't get a fill before flying because it can tighten it from the pressure. I don't know if that's true though. Sounds kind of weird lol
