Stuck Food



Recommended Posts

Several things, try sipping on pineapple juice. Papya enzymes are chewables you can take if you have a stuck feeling.

Do not stick your fingers down your throat or try to cause vomiting, you don't want to do that...

Any bandsters who got stuck have any other suggestions????

Hang in there!

I have stuck my finger down and it comes right up 4 years out and no problem but I wouldn't do it often and It should come up easy and it should taste like it did when it went down . Vomit as we knew it when we were sick has digestive juices in it that wo uld mean it is coming up through the band that is not good. I get rid of stucks immediately before that happens......,

I've tried papaya enzymes and pineapple juice and a hot beverage and prayer and probably more, and the only thing that ever helped was patience.

Making yourself vomit is never a good idea.

If the stuck episode is so bad that you can't drink Clear liquids, it's time to call your surgeon.

I usually just wait them out..walking...because the pain is so bad you just can't sit still...I did try doing jumping jacks at one point....don't think it helped

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
