Quick! Need advice on this chicken stuck in my band!



Recommended Posts

ok. I am not dying or anything--guess that sounded a bit dramatic...

anyway, i am sitting here reading LBT on my lunch and evidently not chewing as I should and I have a piece of chicken stuck!

no big deal usually, but it doesn't seem to want to go up or down. should i drink something? i thought I read somewhere that might be bad? dunno. i don't feel like PB'ing. it doesn't seem to want to go down. i can't figure it.

sorry, this rarely happens to me because i seem to have random restriction, so i can be abit clueless. heck i had pizza last night. go figure.

so what? i just wait it out? it's not really painful, but it is hurting. it must just be big enough to be annoying! :confused:

I'd say wait it out, take a walk (always helps me when something is suck) it will either come up or go on down.

If it doesn't pass after a half hour, try a sip of Water see if that helps it.

I Hate that pain. First thing I try to do is walk around, move my arms up and down (like standing jumping jacks)

Do NOT drink! Drinking is the worst thing you can do, take my word for it since I ignored warnings not to drink, and it was horrible.

While Vera flaps her arms like a chicken, I pounded my chest and ran around the house hopping up and down. I also jumped in the shower and pounded my chest with the hot pulsating shower massager while jerking my head in and out like a lizzard on a rock. Next time you might try a combo while making a training video for the board.

Mostly I get up and walk around. Moving the arms around helps also, I don't do the chicken dance, but rather kind of twist back and forth at the waist and that seems to work.

But I don't recommend drinking. Some people swear by having a little bit of meat tenderizer or Papaya enzyme, but I've never tried either one.

LOL, I gotta buy a videocamera for Mikey's first PB!! (Because I'm SURE mine will be dignified, lol.)

I'm glad you got the chicken unstuck... and that was one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
