Stuck: How Long To Wait To Drink

[Chris410 5]

I am new to all of this and have only had one fill. Lately I have been on the go and very busy. I have not been paying attention so much to what I am eating or how fast. I have gotten stuck twice this week. The second time was this morning after eating some ham and scrambled eggs. I got stuck, it hurt like a sob, and it came back up. I really want something to drink, should I wait? If so, how long?

I'd say you should wait at least 30 min to drink something after being stuck. Good luck

I know everyone says not to drink when stuck , but for me if I can't get it back up I drink Water and lean way over and it helps flush it out . If you are really sliming then you may not need to drink that will help it slide out Everyones different. After you get it up wait 15 mins and drink s l o w.

Make sure you drink something hot/warm it loosens the band...good luck. Chew Slow small bites. Why are you eating Ham in the morning ...best thing is Protein Shake because of your tightness ..but everyone is different

In my experience, paying attention and eating slowly are the key components of success with the band. Every time you get stuck and have to kick food back up it stresses the plumbing, and that's not what you want. Make a little time for yourself to enjoy your meals. You take time out to go to the bathroom, right? Take time to take care of yourself on the fueling end of things too.
