Hi everyone. Please help me. Here is what is going on. On Sunday I had an issue with some pizza getting stuck, this is the first time thats happened to me. I ended up sliming that day since then it hurts to eat and almost everything gets stuck. I didn't think my band was to tight I was filled almost two weeks ago, so the stuck happened a week after the fill.

I am wondering what I should do here. This is great for my weight loss but I am starting to feel a little weak. Let me know if anyone has a thought. Thanks

Your stoma is inflamed from the PB'ing. Stop trying to eat any solids and only eat liquids or very soft mushies. Luckily it's Thanksgiving...mashed taters only please!

You have to give your tummy a chance to heal. If you can, get some aloe vera juice asap. It helps dang near immediately with swelling. I swear it's the wonder cure (read about it here on LBT, can't take credit for it).

Just rest the stoma and it will calm down. If after having liquids and aloe for a few days you are still having trouble, you'll need to get an unfill. You can't live like this. I know, I tried. Miserable!

Hi

so sorry you are uncomfortable! Try starting your day with some hot tea or such and stay on mushies and liquid for a few days, it will get better! To make sure you still get a lot of protein, I would reccommend cottage cheese, lentle soup, and Kefir (probiotic yogurt). Good luck, and try to enjoy some of the softer foods for thankgiving today.....

Go liquid or as soft as you can until your feeling better.

It does sound like you are inflamed! I'm so sorry, but I would go with the soft foods for a few days until you've been able to settle down.

Thanks everyone. I did softs yesterday and today and feeling much better. I might wait even another day or two to eat solids.

You are swollen. You need ot do liquids for 24-48 hours. Anytime you have a slime or PB you need to rest your esophagusand stoma and do liquids for 24-48 hours or you will start a vicious cycle of eatingthen PBing. I know thisfirst hand. I had a horrible PB and did not listen to my doctors instructions, continued to eat the next day, I eventually had the worst case of esophagits ever. It was very painful. I had done so much damage I had to do liquids for 2 weeks.

YOU CAN EAT PIZZA? i cant eat any bread or pizza. i dont even want to try. ouch.

I can't eat thick breads and I especially cant eat any bread without toasting it. Its pita bread for me. Pizza with a thick base is totally out! Sometimes I can manage one with a thin flaky base.
