I'm sorry this is short. I'm

Using my

Cell and it keeps reloading before I submit. I ate cold brocolli 2 hrs ago and I'm

Still stuck and pbing. I've never been stuck before and I'm 3 months post op. Any advice ? Thanks.

also, I wanted to say I was sorry for not being around much, as my laptop broke and has been shipped for repair. But I do hope everyone is doing great. I'm still PBing here, but trucking right along otherwise. Hopefuly, my computer will be back soon so I can get back online.

Try walking and moving around. Broccoli does the same thing to me. Drinking Water won't help it will just make you "slime" as I like to call it :tongue2: thats the best advice I can give you. I hope it helps no worries though, sometimes it takes time

Call your doc! If it's been 2 hours!

I read somewhere on this site to take Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I haven't done it yet but I bought some for "incase"

Hi

Productive burping- can make your band go out of place and try to advoid it if possible but it will happen time to time and it will be scary the 1st time it happens just be careful

pineapple juice is supposed to work well. You need to only take tiny sips though. I have heard papaya tablets work too. You have to chew about 5 of them and you can get them at Walmart.

I usually walk around with my hands in the air to stretch out the stomach area and that has helped.

Try the papaya tablets. They work great. For some reason, pineapple juice doesn't dissolve anything for me. It just makes me PB, but papaya has been wonderful. Ever since I started using them, I've never been stuck for more than 10 minutes.

Whenever I feel something getting stuck I wait a few minutes to see if my body will throw up on its own. If I dont throw up the problem food naturally, I stick my finger down my throat and make myself throw-up. Works like a charm!

I know I'm probabaly not supposed to do this, but I only have to maybe once a week. And in my opinion it is much better than being in such pain for a long time.
