July 8, 201313 yr I was eating chicken and I didn't chew right, it got stuck and then came back up. I have never had this happen and I feel fine but I'm worried. What should I do?
July 8, 201313 yr Use answered your own question take your time eating and be careful to chew your food up good...this should help..but if it becomes a real problem consult your doctor
July 8, 201313 yr I got stuck I think last night for the first time on chicken. It didn't come back up but it was painful going down and took a good 10 minutes- I just layed down while it was hurting me and then it passed...I don't know if that was getting "stuck" or what, but I didn't chew well or maybe ate it too quick I'm not sure. UGH.
July 8, 201313 yr I did the same thing last night with scrambled eggs! I was so excited to see my son who's been gone all summer at camp that I wasn't eating like I had the band. Ouch! When will I learn?!?
July 8, 201313 yr If you get mildly stuck where food easy regurgitates without force I usually stop eating and than later that day introduce fluids to see how I feel. If all is well I will usually proceed with solid foods. However, if you get stuck and it takes a prolonged period to pass, is super uncomfortable and has symptoms like nausea, acid reflux, or it induced vomiting this is when you should exercise some caution as this type of 'stuck' will have caused some inflammation. To do so, go on a liquid diet x1 day and the next day intro some mushies first and than solids if all feels well. Liquid diet can be extended for however long is necessary if you continue to feel sore or if you notice increased restriction (d/t inflammation). Chicken is one of those meats a lot of us struggle with us. One day it goes down no problem, next day not even close. Make sure your lean meats are super moist and cut it as small as possible before chewing it down like a lawnmower. Hope this helps
July 8, 201313 yr Author Thank you all so much for the feed back. I feel pretty good today but I've only had coffee so far.
July 8, 201313 yr Whenever I get stuck I do what Hazel suggests and go back to liquids if I think I've swollen my stoma. I also will take some liquid motrin if needed to help get the swelling back down. Also, in the future, I recommend going slow with your first bite and always putting down your fork between each bite to help you remember to slow down. And chew chew chew!

July 12, 201313 yr I was banded the 2nd and I can't have solid/puree foods until 17th when I see the nutritionist!!!! How can you get to eat so soon??!! Every surgeon is different in what he or she recommends for their patients. It is always best practice to follow what your surgeon has told you to do. I was banded on June 26th and had my first day today of mushies. I had 2 weeks of full liquid. It was rough, but I'm glad I did it. Best of luck
July 12, 201313 yr I hope you are learning that getting stuck, sliming and vomiting are not good with the band. Continuing this could cause real problems with your band. Please learn from this and either eat smaller bites slower or get a slight unfill. It is not worth having real problems down the road.
