so now i was dumn and i ate some non-mushie items because they went down with no problem. Now I have a lump of moderate pain under my port/ribcage. any ideas how to get rid of it quickly?

I have read on this site that pineapple juice fixes the problem quite quickly.

I am not banded yet, so I don't know if it truly works or not.

Good Luck!!!

Drink something hot/warm

I have also read on this site that if something hot doesn't work then to try pineapple juice. It is on my list of things to get for post op.

Ty I feel much better today!Onward!!

Soda pop....works everytime with me...quick and easy and doesn't taste bad coming back up.

Apple juice works a treat for me... has worked every time. Haven't had to throw anything up since being banded.
