I'm 5 weeks post op -no fill yet but i've been sick ect a few times this last week :sad:do u think it would be a good idea to go on fluids for a few days to let my pouch rest a while :shades_smile:

When you say you've been sick, what do you mean? How do you know when you have food stuck?

Absolutely! I think you have the right idea and good luck with your healing.

mostly my fault!! i tried eating some bread on one occasion and it just sits like a brick in ur chest - then u start sliming then pb ing then finaly i was sick :thumbdown:it has happened a few times this last week and some people think that it's good to let ur pouch rest for a few days incase being sick has made ur pouch swell up a bit :thumbup:

Im four weeks out and did something like your, wife came home with some cade I took way to big of a bite and BAM that bad boy his like a big fat brick in my chest sliming went on for about 5 min then it cleard on its own.

I did not go on luquids and Im find just eat the right foods, chew them enough and eat slow you should be fine.

Oh and just an FYI l love the band for teaching me a very quick and valuable lesson, the game has changed and I have to play buy its rules!!!

OMG, that's what I don't want to experience. Thanks for sharing. I will not be eating bread unless it's super soft. Hope you're feeling better today. Have a great one!

I had the same thing happen with deviled egg....OYE I must not have chewed it enough. I agree that the band is teaching me the way to be. Being in that pain is NOT fun. I am going to give my stomach a couple of days of liquid again too mostly because I am nervous and afraid to eat anything. I am sure I will buck up and try it again and Chew Chew chew. Slow Slow Slow.

Ok I take back my last reply fluids for a few days might no be a bad idea, I got stuck two days ago preaty good and now I got stuck twice today not as bad as the first time but my guess if there might be some swelling going on.

So back to luqids for me for a few days

anyone else feel like this or have i finally gone mad ?

Mine is a big angry cop that says NO! lol

Mine is a big angry cop that says NO! lol

just done it again !!!! :thumbup: really DO need to go easy for a few days

Bread is the worst!!! I love it, but try to stay away, because it hurts when it gets stuck. I think cutting bread out of my diet has been a Godsend for me. Helps that weight come off! :thumbup:
