Either you are too tight or you need to modify your eating behavior.

I had the same issue but I knew it was me either eating too fast, taking too big of bites or not chewing enough. This still happens to me on occasion especially if I am really, really hungry it will happen with my first couple of bites.

Set your fork down after each bite and focus on chewing. You may need to eat alone to get used to how you need to eat. My husband eats very fast and sometimes when we eat together I find myself trying to keep up. This always ends in me vomiting.

If this doesn't help you you may need to get a slight unfill.

Something I forgot to mention.......If you have a stuck episode and vomit, you need to finish off the day with liquids. If you continue to eat, you will most likely continue to get stuck. Your stomach becomes inflamed after vomiting and it is almost impossible to eat after that and it isn't good for your band to force it.

Make sure that what you are eating is moist...dry foods such as bread and dry meats often get stuck. So, maybe try sticking with moister foods and see how they go down. Good luck!

When initially meeting with my surgeon - he advised that two foods that would be difficult to eat in the future and to avoid at all costs were breads and rice. The documentation I received when leaving surgery basically said the same thing.

Maybe avoiding breads and rice would be a good idea?

Here is a list of foods that I have problems with:

rice, bread, dry chicken, scrambled eggs, dry pork, steak, roasted beef (deli beef ok), hard boiled eggs.

Anything dry or cold chicken is a problem. You will need to experiment to find out what foods you can tolerate. Toasted bread seems to work ok for me.

Hi Honesty,

Since your fill was Friday, you might still be a little swollen. If it doesn't get better soon, I would give your doctor a call.

Good Luck!
