No stuck episode but I'm swollen:(

[spoiltmom 44]

I was told bread might get stuck but that some people can eat it. I've had it twice this week. The first time it was no problem. Today I had it at lunch and it went down just fine, no pain or anything. Now 4 hours later I'm swollen. I can only take small drinks and I'm burping foam when I try to eat.

I guess it's back to liquids for me and no more bread. I'm assuming the bread irritated my band right?

Hmm... honestly I wouldn't assume that. I think it could be a ton of different things and if the bread went down just fine, I wouldn't necessarily think it's the cuplrit (unless you WANT to blame bread, then, by all means! )

I think the bread is stuck and having trouble leaving your pouch. I have had a delayed stuck episode like this before. I suggest you keep sipping and definetly don't eat anything until it passes or comes up. Then stick with liquids the rest of tonight and all or part of tomorrow.

Drink some warm tea. Warm beverages seem to help me when swollen. If you don't like tea maybe Decaf coffee.< /p>

Walk - it helps and I agree if you can a hot beverage!

That happens to me when I accidentally eat to much and feel full. It goes away after a little while. I found liquids did not help because it just made me more full, and it just went away on it's own.

Generally food passes through the band between 1-3 minutes after eating it (unless you eat really fast). It's likely due to something else and not the bread - unless it was crusty and could have scraped up your pouch, which could cause irritation. It could also be caused from the weather (barometric changes), drinking cold Fluid, coughing a lot, laughing a lot, moving funny, all sorts of things.
