Stuck, did someone say STUCKED!

So sorry to hear about the pain you were in.. must have been very traumatic.

I had the same thing when I got filled a few weeks ago, ended up getting something stuck, and that in turn stopped everything from going down so I was sliming and bringing it back up all night (i waited stupidly a good 6 hours before going to my doc after hours (about 10pm, bless her, to get .5ml out) the pain was unbearable...

I'm trying to develop a liking for V-8 juice, so I can get in a little extra veggie credit without worry. I was never a Tomato juice fan, so I'm having to doctor the stuff up with lemon juice and hot sauce to make it work...and I'm thinking of adding it to my cooking as well.

Christine, I hate all V8 juice except tropical flavour.. got a small tetra box to try it.. and its (surprisingly) very delicious!

I got stuck twice this week, both out of stubborn stupidity.

I wa sout shopping and got an egg and ham sandwich on a hard roll. that roll killed me, over an hour in the bathroom trying to get it all out. I didn't want to eat the rest of the day, even the shakes I keep on hand didn't look good to me.

The next day I went out to dinner with my son and the garlic knots just looked so good. I chewed so good, and washed it down with Water (I know but I wanted one) and another 10 min in the bathroom.

I went back to the table and ate my chicken parm and ziti without any more problems though.

I love, Love, LOVE bread and that is the worst part of this band.

I am going to visit a friend next month and we are going to Logan's Steakhouse, they have the most delicious bread and I am going to really suffer.

Since my last fill two weeks ago I have had several "stuck" episodes. Broccoli is for sure a no no for me. I can't eat any meat either. I have to take small bites and chew alot. Will this improve? Almost everything I eat hurts unless it is mashed potatoes or scrambled eggs.< /p>

The moral of this story is to hide in the bathroom until you get rid of the offending item one way or another, and to NEVER get behind the wheel of a car if you've got something stuck. You're a safety hazard to yourself and those around you. I think we all do it at least once though...

Taking small bites and chewing a lot is the way of banded life. If you do that and still cannot eat any type of meat, you might be too tight. A slight unfill can do wonders. Some meats are harder to eat than others. I have a big problem with chicken breast meat. I don't even try any more.

Being too tight can be dangerous for your band, it can lead to a slip. Also, if you cannot get in enough calories your weight loss will stop as your body goes into starvation mode.

This happened to me at Sonny's BBQ a couple weeks ago, but it was green Beans, needless to say I have not had the beans there again since!
