stuck...and then what?

I decided i would try a bite of angel food cake...that went ok...so did the 2nd bite...well the 3rd not so good! i've not been stuck but i think this is what stuck was. it hurt really bad and i felt like i may die! i didn't "pb" i just kept swallowing to keep it down. it hurt in my chest and it hurt in my back.

so my question is this...if you're stuck and then you don't pb does it end up getting "pushed" from your pouch thru your band into your stomach? does anyone know? did that even make sense!?

Eventually it moves through. I would go back to liquids for 24 hours if you are still experiencing any pain. Lots of times after a bad stuck episode your stoma is swollen and you continue to have difficulty with food passing through, so liquids avoid that problem and allow the swelling to go down without causing further irritation. I have done this a few times, and each time I swear I will NEVER eat anything that will cause such pain again.

Try drinking apple juice, it always helps me get unstuck. I usually wait but when I know waiting isn't going to help then I take a few sips. Works like a charm.

I wouldn't try drinking anything... I did a few times on a natural reaction to feeling like I needed to wash down food and it just swelled up more. So not fun!!! I just went back to the doc today becuase I worried about a slipped band and found out I am not doing things correctly. Learn from my mistake and if you get stuck on something take it easy for a while... go on liquids for a day. I was scared straight today and will def not risk a slipped band again.
