I ate too fast & now I'm stuck for the 1st time. What do I do????????

drink pineapple juice

For me i drink crystal light or stand up with your head down to your knees until you can make your self sick.

Mix some meat tenderizer with water and drink it.

Sorry, but I wouldn't make myself sick. I'd drink the pineapple juice in very small sips. Otherwise, the juice will just come up with the slime. Standing and walking around also helps.

And I thought I wasn't restricted enough! I will be chewing until liquid & taking my time from now on.

Thanks for the support!!!!!!!

drink a few sips of warm diet soda and DO NOT BURP.let the pressure force the plug through the stoma.

Hi:

Try sitting in a chair and putting your legs out in front of you. Now, lean as far as you can toward touching your toes. I found this to be helpful once for me.

I hope you're unstuck soon.

Walk. Bend over and press very gently on your stomach. Take some papaya enzyme pills. While walking, promise yourself you will never ever eat that food again for the rest of your life.

This is what I do, anyway.

OMG! I was stuck this weekend for the very first time. I eventually threw up. Not what I wanted to do,but I tried everything and nothing helped.

I was too tight and had to have some some restriction taken out of my band today; only about a half a cc. but still.

Good luck keep us posted on how its going. If it gets too bad or painful call the doctor. I got yelled at today for not calling him over the weekend.

I've done that before and it worked.

OK so ... I am getting my first fill tomorrow and now that I am over 4 weeks out I have been good but know that I have very little restriction. That will all change in 18 hours from now. Regarding the meat tenderizer and Water, what is the after math of that? Do you vomit or does the food just pass?

Yeah I want to know that too...:wink2:

Well it does one or the other. If you have eaten too much you will slime and possibly have a PB (productive burp). If it's mostly the pain you are feeling, you can wait it out and the food should finally pass. Eventually you learn to really notice the full feeling before you get to the stuck point.

I've only done it once and the food passed very quickly. I don't know if it was the meat tenderizer or if it was just ready to go down. I was in pain for 10 minutes and then tried the meat tenderizer and within 2 minutes it was better.

Keep in mind that for some people the first fill doesn't provide a lot of restriction. I had some restriction for a few days and then was back to the way I was before. The 2nd fill provided more restriction and the 3rd fill a lot of restriction. I didn't need another fill for 5 months after that one.

Good luck!

The meat tenderizer helps to break up whatever is stuck so that it will pass. Papaya enzyme tables work the same way.
