i am afraid that i am experiencing my first "Stuck" episode. I'm not totally sure on how it feels. But this pain I'm feeling is horrible. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop it or even let me know if this is what I'm feeling?!

The food will eventually pass through, walk around and stretch your arms up. If it doesn't pass through it will come up on its own and you'll get instant relief. Be careful though when you eat again as you may have some swelling and irritation because of the stuck episode. You may want to do liquids for a day.

My nutritionist has told me coke helps with stuck episodes, the bubbles make you burp and it's supposed to dislodge the food. Depending on what it is that is stuck liquid can also make it worse for example if its doughy type foods.

warm Water helps. If you have ever got a pill stuck half way down or a piece of French bread that is what it feels like to me..it will get better but chew better and smaller bites will help in the future but this eill happen again.

It does hurt!! Sometimes I try and force it to come back up, other times I will try and drink until it litterally floats up, sometimes I just walk and it passes.

someone told me about Pinnapple juice and it works for me. I bought the six pack small cans and it works every time. hugs

Hey Kayla I just had my worst stuck episode yet tonight. Thank goodness I was with my dad and stepmom who has the lapband and can understand. We went to Texas Roadhouse and I spent like a 1/2 hour in the bathroom and it was horrible, worst paint I have had yet. I pb'd about 3 times and just did the pineapple juice (thanks Lassie) and now I'm finally relieved. That's what 3 bites of steak and 3 bites of sweet potato got me, still not sure what did it, but that sucked!

It's the size of the bites, how well it is chewed, and even the type of meat involved. Some steak is drier and stringier than others.

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

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
