I had 3 melba crackers 1/4 c egg salad and watermelon on my plate.

I had 2 crackers with some egg salad on top.. and i got this HUGE KNOT right below my throat. I had to get up cause it felt like someone punched me, and i walked outside. I thought for sure it was coming back. But i heard a gurgle and the pain subsided.

Was that stuck??? too fast???

I havent had this issue at all. In fact i could eat anything I wanted........ yesterday i got my first 2ml fill.

That was STUCK. Only you can say if you were eating too fast. Perhaps you didn't chew it well enough.

Omgosh stuck is misery then!!! I think it was all too dry. I tell you what though it stopped me in my tracks, and i didn't touch a single bite more.

Thanks for responding, wanted to make sure it was normal.

I thought it was stuck if it came back up? I have had both to happen and it is awful. If I can burp and ease it the time involved is about 3 minuets, but if I can't it is no less than 10 minuets of pure agony! There are sweats, head pain, stomach pain and my throat feels like it's being ripped. Right until I slim something up.

It's stuck and either it will go down or come back up, and it can be quite painful in the meantime! It usually happens if you take too large of a bite or do not chew really well or eat a bit too much. It is more apt to happen soon after a fill as you are more restricted and may need to stick to softer foods for awhile longer!

Stuck can happen for a variety of reasons, including taking bites that are too big and not chewing well enough. Also can be caused by food that is quite dry. Stuck will eventually move. If it comes back up, that's a PB. I've been stuck once where I absolutely prayed for a PB. Wouldn't you know it, the one time you'd welcome a PB, I had to settle waiting for what seemed like an eternity before it moved.

I cant eat crackers, white bread (untoasted)or any sort of chicken in a sauce or not. Was banded mid Dec and have lost 30 lbs was 200lbs to start. But can eat steak and sea food just fine

That was stuck. Were you not put on liquids after your fill? I have to do 3 days of liquids after a fill to let the stomach heal from the irritation of a fill.

You were definitely stuck and it finally made it through the band. You need to make sure you chew your food until there is nothing left to chew.

Being stuck is painful. Eventually, it will not go through the band, and it will come back up. Until it does, you will be in pain. that is why you must take itty bitty bites and chew it up until it's liquid in your mouth.

I had this issue to I didn't think I was gonna survive (I'm kinda a wimp) and worse yet it was at work right after lunch, I guess we all gotta do it once to learn our lessons chew chew chew and really really tiny bites, I just need to remember how much it hurts and I think that'll be enought to remind me mine was also a day after my fill...
