Hi -

Was banded in October - all has been okay. Today at costco I sampled Macadaian encrusted mahi mahi...and it was HOT. I w/out thinking swallowed the whole thing. I felt a bit stuck but nothing that time didn't help. About an hour later I ate a small Peanut Butter cup...slimed it up. An hour later a Protein shake - couldn't finish it. Two hours later, I was hungry and ate a Fiber One bar...it was feeling VERY uncomfortable about 20 minutes after eating it. I have been sliming now for a couple of hours...did I just irritate it? Someone please tell me what is going on. I am freaking out!!!

TIA

It if is irritated it will swell. Each time you slime or get the stuck feeling you are making it swell more. It's a cycle that needs to be broken before obstruction. Nothing by mouth for a couple of hours, liquids is the answer for at least several hours if not the rest of the day.
