I know you are not to eat and drink at the same time while you have the band, but I am curious, if one is having a PB, and you have the "stuck" feeling, wouldnt it make sense to take a very small sip of water to help the "stuck" item go down? Can someone clarify this for me?

well that's going to depend on whats stuck and how much Fluid you have in your band etc. Everyone is different. I know for me drinking when stuck is a big no no. It just comes back up and causes trouble. The best thing to do is walk walk walk. I haven't been stuck in a while..guess I learned to chew better...but when I did at first I jumped up and down, walked and paced until it moved.

If the food is truly stuck drinking Water only adds to the fluid in your stomach which could then push the food and liquid higher up into your esphogus and make you really throw up not just PB. Best bet is to walk it off if you can.
