Last night I had baked pork chops with steamed asparagus. I had one chop and about 7 asparagus stalks.

About 20 minutes afterwards I had a pain in my chest which felt like a huge bubble right under my chest bone. Along with periods of shortness of breath. It felt like I needed to vomit but couldn't? The pain lasted a good hour before I went out and bought pineapple juice and didn't go away until about 1 hour after drinking the juice.< /p>

Was I stuck? What do you do when you get stuck and does it happen right after the meal or 20 minutes after you've eaten something?

In my experience, I felt the food that was stuck IMMEDIATELY upon eating it...it sounds like you may have over-eaten...how big was the porkchop?

On the otherhand, asparagus is a VERY fiberous food and fiberous foods are notorious for getting stuck!

So really it could be eitherone...but I know the one time I really overate, I felt like I had a big gas bubble under my chest and it took HOURS to go away!!!

I would stay away from asparagus and other fiberous foods just in case it was a "stuck" issue...it might be your body telling you that you cannot tolerate that particular type of food with your band.

Good Luck!

It sounds like a stuck episode to me. I sometimes have a delayed reaction. Usually it is immediate, but not always. Since the food stays in the pouch for a while and slowly empties, it is possible for something to get stuck a while down the road after you finish eating.

Pork chops can be killer. Be sure to take very small bites. I love them, but they are very dry. I also eat them with applesauce to moisten them. Yummy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
