Does walking relieve a stuck episode?



Recommended Posts

Sometimes when I feel "stuck" if I get up and walk a little the food goes through and the "stuck" feeling goes away. I was wondering if anyone else has this happen?

It is very common as gravity helps it go down. Sometimes I just have to stand up and the food goes down.

Good Luck:wink2:

I had that happen too...sometimes on the way to the bathroom to PB it suddenly passes. I've also noticed that straightening up and taking a deep breath also helps things pass.

My Nutritionist told me to try Papaya pills that also helps if you get stuck. It is like the stomach enzymes and helps to break the food down faster. I tryed it the other day and it really works.

I bought the pills in the Drug store right where the Vitemines are sold.

I used the papaya enzymes in the beginning, and at times thought they helped. Now there are times when walking around helps and other times that it doesn't at all. One night this week, I went for my 5 mile walk after eating, feeling a little bit stuck. I figured the walk would fix it. It didn't. After I got home, I tried to drink Water, and the stuck item came right back up. Every day is different. I can go weeks without any trouble, then all of a sudden I will have trouble with a food that is usually fine. Can't figure it out at times, but it always works out fine!!! Hugs!!!!

I walk around when food gets stuck - but what has worked best for me - I play tennis on my Wii (if I am home) - Helps in three ways – 1) By concentrating on the game my attention is diverted from the PBing sensation, 2) Food goes down rather than coming up 3) Get some exercise :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
