Was banded June 3 and have been doing ok but sometimes forget the band is there. Well, today I had food get stuck for the first time and it's an experience I don't want to repeat. A hard but valuable lesson...slow down and chew chew chew!

Yep. No fun!

Easy to get distracted and eat too big or swallow too soon isn't it?

If I never got stuck, I never would have had to change my eating methods, and would never had to change the foods I eat...which means I never would have undergone any Behavior Modification, meaning I never would have lost the weight.

In other words I never should have had this surgery in the first place...

Sure getting stuck is not pleasant...nor is it pleasant to touch a hot stove...sooner or later we all learn...

If I had a dollar for all the times I got stuck.......but I learned, and have not had the pleasure in a long time.

I think I was eating too fast. It was not pleasant but it was an eye opener and I'm actually glad because now I know what I want to avoid!

Thanks for your replies!
