twinskins 13 Posted September 18, 2012 I'm on the pureed stage of the diet now and I made myself some scrambled eggs. I don't think I chewed well on one of the bites and now I have this heartburn type feeling in my chest. Is this what stuck feels like? I don't feel like I have to throw up, it's just uncomfortable and won't go away. I know I can't drink anything for 30 more minutes, will it go away on its own?

Angela1234 29 Posted September 18, 2012 You will know when you are stuck - hands down it's a horrible feeling. How do I know this? Because I've been dealing with it this morning. Apparently, for some reason, my body didn't want to have the toast and egg this morning like I have most mornings. The toast was a little more toasted than I normally do and I don't know if that's it or what but omg... miserable. I've managed to clear the nastiness of the toast but I'm still all frothy and have puked up just froth a few times. I sooo want to drink something but I don't want to make it worse. It's a horrible feeling. So, if you aren't feeling like you need to puke and don't have froth then you might not be completely stuck. Don't drink or eat anything and it will pass.

wallflower 188 Posted September 18, 2012 So when and if we get stuck, is it just a "wait it out" kinda thing? We shouldn't drink to try to flush it down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mstraci 0 Posted September 18, 2012 I agree with everyone else.... when you get stuck, you for sure will know it. for me it's like I have to stop everything I am doing. can't swallow can't drink, immediately have to go to the restroom, and make it come up. it is very uncomfortable and like someone said before it will definitely make you slow down. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binab 50 Posted September 18, 2012 How soon after you eat something do you know your stuck? I'm like OP and have felt the tightness, really felt it the other night after a few tiny bites of filet mignon (and immediately stopped eating the steak.) I am terrified of getting stuck... Getting first fill on Friday and very nervous as I have been making mostly good choices but eating just about anything I want (just in teeny tiny quantities).

feb27bandwoman 112 Posted September 18, 2012 I have had a few stuck episodes and have learned much from them......l the most important is to recognize hen I get that full feeling and STOP eating! A hard lesson to learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
