I'm stuck and slowly sipping pineapple juice. Wondering how long it usually takes? I ate cheese and some corn chips.

Be careful sipping anything if you're truly stuck. Sometimes, it can actually make things worse. Plus pineapple is very acidic so you definitely don't want that sitting in the stomach above the band.

Good luck!

Didn't know pineapple juice was a fix.....when I'm truly stuck, I cannot drink anything, because the passage is blocked, clogged up - stuck....sipping anything, such as Water, overfills the pouch, causing it to "Run Over"...in other words it will come right back up having no where else to go.....

Least that is how I always did it......

I know many people who use Papaya Enzymes....carry it with them everywhere they go....

When I worked in the ER, and people came in with stuck meat, we would mix tenderizer with warm water and have them sip that...it worked!

I have heard tenderizer works too ! Pineapple Juice is a GOD send !!!

Also, coke works great, like roto-rooter. Sometimes it comes up and sometimes it goes down. I use real coke, and I like it warm, not cold. A couple oz is all that you need, too!

I have a question. I'm getting banded in about 2 weeks but from reading this isn't the point to not get stuck instead of finding ways to let the wrong foods into your body? Maybe I'm just not educated enough on banded life but I'm really curious.

Do you know what are "Wrong Foods"??? Some people can eat anything, and have no problems....some foods that are risky for one person, is just fine for the next person...

Sometimes it is not the food at all, but the way we eat...too much too fast all at once....

I have had Water, without any food at eaten at all before, come right back up because I didn't think and gulped it down like the old days.....water is not a wrong food....but I was wrong in how I swallowed it...

It is a learning experience for everybody....hit and miss with a lot of foods....the trick is, if I get stuck once on a certain food, then next time I eat that food I am very careful...if I get stuck that second time, then it gets on my "Do Not Eat List" it's not impossible, just too risky....

That makes sense. Thanks!
