I'm 99% certain I have a piece of mostly chewed Jerky stuck in my pouch right now. I can't keep liquids down on top of it, and there's a tightness in my chest. How do I help it pass through or come up so that I don't feel like crap?

you could TRY to drink as much Fluid as you can get in to make yourself throw up and push it out- i have done this and it's NOT fun...and I have broken blood vessels in my face throwing up doing it...but it worked. Or if it hasn't been long just give it time.....?

Well, either the papaya extract or the session before I went to get the papaya extract fixed it. But blegh.

I had beef Jerky stuck once- now i won't eat it- :( unless it's really soft. found one brand that is really good and soft- country archer I think it is. But I eat too much beef jerky if I have it, so i don't buy it

Hey, properly made beef jerky's good for you. About 9-11 g of Protein per 1 oz serving, and about 50-70 calories. No carbs, low fat.

That is true- i just feel like I might get too much sodium

do you make yours in a smoker or air fryer ( I know people who do both)

food dehydrator, actually. I'm just hoping this bad batch doesn't mean the dehydrator's bad. A replacement one is expensive.

When food gets stuck in my sleeve I just suffer through it without trying to push it down with fluids - that always seemed to make it 10x worse

I read about dissolving some meat tenderizer in an ounce of Water and drink that. I’ve never tried it personally.

As long as it dissolves the Jerky and not you. Remember the kids song " I Knew an Old Lady who swallowed a Fly" Sounds a little like it. But I hope things work out. before you need to go the E.R., mine would give me no chance to explain, cha cha cha!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
