Pain After Being Stuck?

[jtreece 0]

Last night I had some green Beans and did not chew them enough I assume because I started sliming and was in pain. Eventually the food made its way up but I'm very sore. I'm sticking to liquids and applesauce but I was wondering if others usually feel sore after an episode and how long it lasted?

Yes pain after "getting stuck" or "PBing" happens....

My question is why you would go to eating apple sauce? That is usually high sugar and no Protein....I usually go back to Protein shakes, greek yougurt, cottage cheese...things like that.

Thanks. I did actually eat cottage cheese as my main thing this morning. I tested the Water with natural applesauce before i attempted the cottage cheese just to make sure since it's less chunky. I brought a Protein drink for lunch so I should be good there.

This is a great reminder that I have the band and just because I could eat it before my fill last week doesn't mean I can eat it now.

After a bad episode, I can be sore for a couple of days. I stick with easy things until it is feeling better.

Sometimes, I can't even identify what it is I did to cause the stickage. Most times though, it is pilot error.

Yes after the hot tea moves it along my doc tells me to do a day of fluids just to heal . Its like begging for forgivness from your new stomach

Feeling much better today but sticking to soft Proteins like scrambled eggs. Warm liquids did seem to help so going to keep drinking them throughout the day. Threw out the sauteed string Beans because mentally I don't think I want to face them again for a while.

I do the same after a bad stuck episode, a day of liquids, a day of soft Proteins, etc. My doc's office said we do the most damage by rushing back to solids too quick. I can be sore in my band area as well for a while after a bad episode and like you, I don't want to see the food that resulted in it for quite a while - even though it usually wasn't the food, but me! It's definitely aversion therapy.

I wrote athread yesterday about getting things stuck,

I wrote that I got something stuck and threw it up and that was on jan 20 and went to liquids until jan 22 then ate some cottage cheese and it was okay then next morning took sip of Protein drink felt like it was not going down but it did then hour later took sip of apple juice, well didn't stay down and haven't been able to keep any liquids down it is very very sore between my breast (the inside) I am guessing very swollen from throwing up I have had things before and normally my dr take some out and then yells out me cause he thinks it is from over eating alot times it is not my brain tells I hungry and my band tells me no. any help or suggestions please.:scared2::cursing:

Ironically I had my first "stuck" experience on Wednesday as well. I waited too long to eat and I was starving so I ate too fast. I could not believe the pain! Then the next evening I was eating an omlet and the same thing happened, then the next morning I was eating my usual egg and it happened again. I finally called the nurse she said to do the liquids for 2 days which I did. I feel that hot liquids help "heal" my stomach faster so I drink broth. I have found the following things help me......

I have found that I can not eat first thing in the morning. I usually have a cup of coffee (black) or hot tea and then 30 min. or so later I can eat.

Another thing that has helped me is cutting my food into pieces that are the size of my smallest fingernail or if it is a soft food then I put only that amount on the spoon, less than you would give a baby. I have to take 4 bites then wait at least 60 seconds before I can take another bite.

If your Dr yells at you, maybe you should find someone who is more your style. Remember, you are the customer, you are the one who pays his salary. You dont need him to sugar coat anything but he should understand every body has differences.

thanks, same as you I too can't eat first thing in the morning it is more mid morning before I can eat sometimes later then that. I do cut up my food well most f the time. I have these happening alot this is about my 3rd one, doc thinks once Ithrow up once I swell alot, this time has been the worst with throwing up a day straight even thogh I haven't ate or drank anything. going to doc today at 1:45 so I wil see what happens.
