I had my surgery April 28, 2017. I am also a type 1 diabetic of 28 yrs. Monday while I was driving I had a low blood sugar, so bad that I had to pull my vehicle over and wasn't close to any stores. luckily I had a York Peppermint Patty candy bar in the center console. I made sure to squish it with my lounge and chew really well. however, since yesterday, a day after I ate 1/2 the candy bar, I've been feeling pressure in my chest. I don't have any problems getting anything down, but every now and then, I feel as if there is pressure or discomfort in my chest. since I'm so fresh out of surgery, 6 days now, my band is empty. if I did get food trapped, how will it get fixed? I'm really scared that I've messed up. I've been following my diet rules 100% except for that one time. I'm so scared. Also, since yesterday, I feel hungry often. right now I can have 2-3oz per 30-40 min. Before yesterday I was drinking those Campbell's handheld cream soups until they said that the small pieces in the soup is too much so today I've been straining them. but with those soups, protein shakes, I notice that I'm hungry quite often. I go tomorrow for my x-ray.
Is there a way to help food that might be caught, go down? My shoulder is now aching so I'm pretty sure I've over filled my pouch.
