I think I almost died! Or it felt that way, anyway :(

Warm Water helps your muscles relax, so if you do it slow,,, sometimes it will push rite threw. (That's what I do.) Or,,, it will come back up.

But again stay focused, and chew, until its pulverized. Especially at a Restaurant.

Thanks everyone!! Lots of great tips, I think I'm going to forever be scared to even eat anything that's not mushy! Not sure I'll ever have a piece of steak, I never was much of a steack eater anyway, good thing! I have my second fill tomorrow and I'm worried! I'm not scared of needles, I'm just scared they are going to hurt my incisions.

Definitely do liquids for a couple of days. I tried to continue eating after a stuck episode and that was a really bad idea. Once I switched to liquids things started improving.

You will find that some things that bother others won't bother you and vice versa. I have a lot of trouble with chicken salad for example. For some reason chicken salad gets stuck almost every time.

This journey is such a learning process. I've only been stuck twice, badly, and it definitely changed the way I eat. LOL
