Everyone who has been banded MUST put some pineapple juice in their home. A while back I read a post that pineapple juice helps when things get stuck.

Today I was eating some chicken :hungry: and a huge knot began to grow in my chest. It hurt so bad that I remember thinking (might have said it aloud) "I'm having a heart attack!!!":angry:sick I knew I wasn't, but I thought I might die. Then I remembered the pineapple juice. One sip...and I do mean one sip...and it went down....no throwing up--no sliming--:whoo::whoo::clap2::clap2:-

So thanks to whoever posted about the pineapple juice. I would like to advise EVERYONE who has a band to put some pineapple juice in your pantry!!!

I am glad to know about the vinegar and oil. Twice now, I have thrown up what was stuck, but kept throwing up foam for a couple of hours. I always look in it to see if some particle of food was actually stuck, but it's just watery foam. I would love to get that stopped.

Sometimes aftera pb, my mouth waters for a couple of hours. I hate it!
