How often does food get stuck for you?



Recommended Posts

I'm asking for people who have had their band for a while... so say:

1. how often you puke

and

2. how long you've had your band for.

Not sure what you define as "a while", so I may not be what you had in mind :cool: - BUT, I'll give you my answer anyway.

I've only puked once (two weeks ago) - I ate some chicken that was a bit on the dry side....let's just say, I hope to continue my non-puking streak - that was not pleasant.

I do sometimes feel food just sitting there sort of stuck"ish", but it usually goes away within a few minutes so not sure it's a real stuck, KWIM?

1. how often you puke- I'm on my 2nd fill have 5.75cc n a 10cc band and I usally have a pb(stuck) episode at least 2x a wk & the cause is usally eating too fast! I have never "puked" from overeating my band won't allow it if I overeat it jus feels like Thanksgiving dinner but for 3hrs!! Uggh!:smile:

and

2. how long you've had your band for- lapband date was March 16,2010.

I've been banded for 5 months (Feb 2010) and after my last fill, I've been having "stuck" issues about 3 times a week...I'm slowly learning what works and what doesn't-Meanwhile I'm a work in progress:scared2:

I get stuck maybe twice a week and almost always because I am careless.

I've been banded 4.5 months and have never puked.

I have been banded since 2/27/10...I've never had a PB episode, but I have "stuck" problems 2-3 times a week, driven by how fast I eat, how big a bite I've taken, and how thoroughly I chew. It's VERY uncomfortable, and you think by now I'd know better than to set myself up for it, but I get focused on something else, and I kinda forget about my band!

Hope this helps!

Banded since October 2009

Since my last fill in May I PB 3x a week and have had some PB/throwing up combo about once a week.

I too have the stuck feeling that usually passes with movement.

I had a really bad stuck incident in April by eating a Triscut. God, It was hours before that thing passed/came up!

Like others, most "incidents" are self inflicted by rushing, over eating or a stupid choice.

Annoying that a 'good' food can suddenly become a 'bad' one.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
