Help I'm blocked !

[DRCS 2]

OMG ! I think I'm having a heart attack. I haven't even had my first fill yet and I just experienced the horrific feeling that I have heard so much about.

I have been allowed to eat regular food since Sat. I have 2 Protein Shakes and 1 meal and so far no problem my opening is still open quite a bit (or so I thought). Today I heated up some left over chicken and broccoli and had 1 piece of each and thought I would die.

Obviously I didn't chew it enough but at this point I thought I was doing my constant chewing as a practice for my first fill WRONG.

I have been dry heaving and just bringing up foam for the last 3 hours. If anyone knows how to hurry this up I would appreciate the help !!! I am going to start chewing Water so as to be positive this never happens again.

Please everyone chew chew and chew again little pieces. Take it from my stupidity so you don't have to go thru this.

I wonder how long this lasts....... My Md isn't in

I hope you are feeling better! That sounds awful. I appreciate the sage advice about chewing as I am being banded tomorrow. Take care.

[I-wanna-be-a-loser 10]

This is my biggest fear about getting the band!!! Right now I inhail food cause my little 6 month old requires all my attention at meal times... :/

Hope you're better!! chicken is one of the things I have the worse time with, so I'm extremely careful eating it especially white meat because it is so dry. The foam you're spitting up is your saliva that has no where to go, it should pass very soon. Don't try to drink anything cause that will make it worse!! I usually try to get up and walk and try to burp to make a little more room for it to go down. It is a horrible feeling, but in time you will find it doesn't happen as much because you're going to be very conscience of what you put in your mouth.

Best of luck!

[DRCS 2]

No I'm not any better and I'm walking around with a bag.

Thanks for the tip on not drinking I was thinking that liquids would help it pass faster.

This is something you don't forget so I pray I never let it happen again.

It's a horrible feeling! I still have that happen from time to time. It is so hard to always take such small bites and chew, chew...and chew! I also have a horrible time with chicken. I'm sorry you are feeling so bad! Hopefully it will go away sooner than later. Walking around seems to be the only thing that helps me... it usually will come up before it will pass through, at least in most of my cases.

You might need to relieve your self. To do this is to gently put your fingers to the back of your throat and make it come up. Sometimes if I am stuck this is the only relief I can get.

Can anyone let me know how long this usually lasts I think I'm losing my mind !

[54Shirley 105]

I drink with my meals all the time...

Just make sure it's warm, or lukewarm, and take your time.

You are swollen, and this will last for a few days so stick to fluids.

Drink over a sink s l o w l e y ! And be prepared, it might come up.

Otherwise, you will feel it go threw, and hit your stomach.

Good Luck! Shirley...

Will the pain last a few days too?!

Thanks I went in an tried but all I'm bringing up is the coffee I drank trying to help it go down and lots of the saliva foam. I've never been this miserable. My head is killing me as well now.

You have to keep drinking say warm Water, it will clear eventually. Up or Down. Whatever ? Could be 2 or 3 Glasses.

You will be swollen and sore. Don't try to take a pill though.

Once you clear ! Take it easy, and relax, or go to sleep until tomorrow.

Then sip on a thinned out shake.

so sorry i hope you feel better!

[cheryl2586 3,053]

pineapple juice you need to drink pineapple juice it will make it go down.

[Humming Bird 275]

Oh gosh, I feel your pain ........ I hope you get it up or down and get some relief. When you have a hard stuck episode like this you should stick with cold liquids for at least 24 hours after you get un-stuck. Then proceed with caution through the stages ..... creamy , mushy.... soft ...... I hope you are doing better now
