I went through the first couple of months without a stuck episode, but have had a few minor ones since my fill. All due to my own fault of getting distracted while eating and swallowing too fast. Usually within seconds, I think that was dumb on my part because I know it was going to get caught even before it did.

My whole life seems to be one big "that was stupid" moment! (j/k)

I actually just had one two nights ago. I was eating mostaccioli and wasn't paying attention. I was too busy talking with my family. Next thing I knew, I was sliming up a storm and really stuck. It ended up being only the second time I've ever PB'd since being banded.

We all have moments like that I think

Mastaciolli - that's what I like to hear! How much volume can you handle?

I measure out a cup (per my surgeon's rules) but I can never eat that much. I eat about a half a cup and am definitely done.

I love hearing that you only have PB'd twice Missy. I have not yet and have been banded for six months and sometimes I wonder, is everything really working in there? But I am losing and following the rules so I'm guessing that helps.

You have done phenom!!

Yes! Since my last fill, I have gotten (mildly) stuck on chicken twice. The last time I walked away from my dinner for the night and it was a bit painful. I have not yet PB'd or Slimed though.

The worst I find, is when your child is wanting you to answer questions mid-chew. lol

I have had a few of those moments. Nothing as bad as getting stuck or PB'ing. Just that discomfort feeling of something working it's way VERY slowly through the band. Then I know I either took too big of a bite or just didn't chew well enough before swallowing.

The worst for me is when I wait too long before eating and I am soooo hungry, I go back to old eating habits, and the band always lets me know it.

There are times that as I swallow and feel the food going down my throat that I know I will soon be visiting the porcelain throne. But by then it is too late and I simply stop eating to see whether or not it is going to make it through.

mostaccioli......ok mis, what is this as i have not ever heard of this

What is pb?

I was banded on 8/13, doing very well , but had some ground turkey last night and i feel like I have a lump in my throat near the bottom of my neck...is this STUCK?? how long does this last? what can i do? it's not painful, just uncomfortable??

Pb is productive burp

One stick in 7 months post op. Was eating a turkey frank and did not cut it up small enough and then did not chew well and swallowed and had a stuck. Did not PB or slim but was uncomfortable for about 30 minutes. Got up and walked around until it went through. Was not thinking. This AM ate one half of a strawberry and thought it was going to stick, but it went through ok but I had to stop eating for about 3 minutes until I was sure it was down.
