Been there. Done that. Still stupid enough to do it thinking it might work this time. lol

I know, it seems like it should help... Then, the second you swollow that sip, you KNOW it was a mistake.

Funny because I just read another thread

where someone said that drinking Water works for her.

Mind you...she said sipping doesn't work.

According to her you have to gulp it.

It forces nausea and causes your stomach

to pump it right back up.

I haven't been filled yet so have yet to be

a part of the stuck group. I'm nervous...

After experiencing a episode of PAIN from drinking Water, I would never ever do it again! My God, it hurts.

I either wait it out and win

OR

wait it out and it wins by coming back up....

Yep...water doesn't work for me either...hot tea works a little to break it down....

Oh my gosh NO ! Drinking after a meal almost always causes my band to 'overflow'

for that reason I've never had a problem following the no drinking for 30 minutes after eating rule !

When I have a stuck episode, if I swallow a gulp of Water, it will go down and immediately come right back up, but that action seems to dislodge the stuck item as well. It's less painful than being stuck and takes less time to resolve than just waiting it out.

My 'stuck' episodes are becoming rarer, though. I guess it means I can be taught.

Gotta go with ElfiePoo on this one. Taking a few big drinks of Water will bring it back up. Sipping does nothing but hurt like heck.

This is my preferred method of getting a stuck episode over with. Once it is out of there, the pain is gone and the sliming stops. It's a good thing.

The only time I tried it the Water came back up like a gyser. It was horrible. I just wait it out or make mayself throw up if it's too bad. Thankfully I have only been stuck a handful of times.

When you say sliming do you mean that you salivate continually until the blockage goes through? I think I am having a stuck moment right now. I have serious pain below my breasts right between them. I cannot quit spitting because I feel like I am going to throw up if I swallow. I have had this before and it is hit or miss. I make sure I chew my food really well and wait between bites. I cannot drink anything to clear it because that causes extreme nausea. I was eating a salad tonight and last night and cannot eat even two small bites before I experience pain. I just want it to go away.

Call me crazy but I would like to experience this just once. Maybe then I'll know I made the right decision having this surgery. I can eat everything and have yet to get stuck. I've purposely tried to get that full sensation. Perhaps a couple more cc's?

Nonoma,

believe me, you don't want to experience this feeling.

I also had the same as you, I eat whatever I want and never have a problem. Luckily I have been able to watch what I eat and use very strong willpower that I never seemed to have before the band was inserted and still have been losing weight.

but last night I had a very dry burger on a potato roll. the roll was very soft and the burger was very dry. I took one bite and it got stuck. Ohhh the pain.

I was able to walk around through the pain until it finally moved but it was about 15 minutes of pain. My boys kept saying drink something (they just don't understand) but I knew if I did I would be a mess.

I did slime a bit, but not much. I don't vomit, have only vomited 4 times in my entire life so I couldn't even force a vomit although I really wanted to after the first 5 minutes.

Once the food moved I chewed two papaya enzyme tabs to help break up that food and took the burger off the bun. I cut it up and put barbeque sauce on it and ate the rest without a problem.

My doc and the nutritionist both said make sure the food is very lubricated with mayo or some kind of sauce, but I guess I had to see for myself.
