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 :-)

      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.
