Got STUCK for the first time!

[Sweet 0]

Yes, I'm a little excited about it. No, I'm not mentally ill. But I've been reading all about getting stuck and now I know what it feels like. It wasn't too bad. Lasted about 3 minutes.

I got stuck on about 1/3 of a hard boiled egg that I didn't chew well enough. I'm 2 weeks post op and just started soft foods. I haven't been feeling much restriction over the past 5 days so, I'm almost relieved that I got stuck. Shows that I have a little restriction? Does this logic make sense?

I'm sure getting stuck can be worse than my stuck episode, but I am sure as hell going to make sure to chew better from now on.

As bad as it may sound I think that every person in their banded life should experience getting stuck at least 1 time. That way you know what it feels like and you know you aren't having a heart attack or something. It's also a great learning experience that teaches you that you really need to chew better. I wish I could say that it's only happened to me once but each time is a learning experience for me. I'm glad that yours didn't last that long.

I am almost 3 weeks post op, and I had my first experience about 2 days ago eating hamburger meat. I chewed, but it still didnt go down good. So, I dont think hamburger and I are going to get along very well. I am glad that I experienced it too, so i know what it feels like. But it hurt like hell. I leaned over, and it helped to move it.

You are not alone.

I couldn't wait to get stuck after reading about it for months.

It took me 4 weeks and it was in public. I was excited even though it was a bit embarrassing.

I have a problem with all red meat. I think because it's not moist enough. You could try mixing it with something like beef broth. I tend to stick with the chicken and fish though. I also can't do bread. pastas I can do once and awhile but not too often. Lettuce isn't good for me either. I prefer baby spinach instead.

Wow. And what stinks is... I dont go for my first fill till July 7th. If things are already getting stuck... my goodness. It makes me nervous. I normally dont eat red meat often... i prefer chicken.< /p>

Don't be nervous. Just remember to cut your portions very small (About the size of an M&M) and chew at least 25-30 times before you swallow. Practice that and you will be find in the long run.
