I was allowed to have fish starting today. I thought I chewed well, but maybe not. It feels stuck--I ate about 3 hours ago. It doesn't hurt, just bothers me. Please tell me it will eventually either go down or come up!!

I haven't anything take that long to go down but it did go down eventually. Have you tried drinking something hot, like tea or cocoa?

I think it is going down, it still feels kind of stuck, or maybe I am just full and that is what full feels like with the band? Not sure since I have only been on runny mushies, not anything this solid yet. I did take some liquid extra strength tylenol and it seems to have gone down...

Thanks for the advice.

You are probably just full. If it is stuck, your tummy will start rumbling, even though you feel full. You will even have trouble taking in liquids. The hot beverage idea... is a great idea. I usually drink a cup of coffee. However, drink it slowly, so if there are problems then you can stop right away.

In any case, if you think something is stuck, then go on liquids. To test it out, take in soft food later. Try your best not to throw it up!!! This is very dangerous to your health. Vomiting can cause damage to your esophagus and teeth. Most importantly your esophagus, which gastric acids can destroy tissue and be a precursor for esophageal cancer. You could also start to have problems with ulcers, and have to start taking Nexium (the purple pill).

Try your best to stay away from foods you are suppose to avoid.
