Stuck Episode Again Tonight, What's Up?

[donna12 742]

This is like the 3rd or 4th time now and I'm still in pain 4 hrs later. I had 2 slices of small pcs of breaded squash on my plate (I know, don't fuss, not the best and healthiest thing) but thought I could eat it but yet it was the only thing that came up finally. I have 4.5cc's in my band. I don't mean to sound dumb but I do not know what size my band is, never have asked, that's next on my list when I go in. Should I call the dr tomorrow and tell him I keep getting food stuck? It's to the point that the only thing I can eat is canned chicken in the form of chicken salad, cottage cheese, string cheese, oatmeal, Protein Shakes and fish and I'm getting tired of fish!!!

Try eatin the squash without the bread on it and see if that works.

If you're hell bent on having it then you have to chew, chew, chew and chew some more. It should be the consistency of paste when you finally swallow. If you feel you are chewing properly, then perhaps you are over filled and should talk to your doctor.

Is it your food choices Maybe? Might need to step back down to ful liquidsl and see if it still happens to help determine if it is food choices or if your too tight... Take care and keep in touch

You may need to take smaller bites, chew a lot more, or pause between bites. Or any combination of these things. I'd experiment with bite sizes and chewing before calling the doc.

Work harder on your band eating skills, use moist cooking methods, have tiny amounts of some kind of sauce with dense Proteins, and avoid anything breaded. I found early on that anything breaded was lethal. Like it got gunked up in my stoma. Blech.
