well i'm going thru the same thing but i'm at 9 days of liquids you really need to make sure you get protein in you diet. I don't see the dr till 9/2 seems like forever but i hope he does take it out I've had it for about 5 yrs and this "stuck" feeling is getting more often i have also been "tight" even since the day of surgery so will be interested in what the dr thinks I have only had 1 fill in 5 years because it is always so tight I can feel every bite that goes thru from the pouch to the stomach There is days that i can't swollow by own spit I know that sounds disgusting but it gets hard to drink even water
