Don't drink, and don't eat anything else for now. If I tried to drink on top of being stuck, it'd be back up in a heartbeat. Hopefully, you can try walking around for a few minutes and it may pass. Maybe others have a good home remedy, but for me, time's about the only thing. I know you're not enjoying it, but it will most likely pass soon.

Time will be your friend or enemy? Takes me about 45 minutes to pass food when I take too big of a bite, don't chew properly, eat too fast.

I had a really bad episode one night with a ribeye, I tried everything and it lasted forever. When I got home, I drank some pineapple juice, not alot of it, just about a 1/4 cup or so and it finally passed through. Not saying this will work and like someone said above, sometimes this can backfire on you and you end up heaving it all up, but I didn't try to drink until probably about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after no movement.

The first and only time so far, was lots of time and walking helped. Do not drink think you'll force it down quicker. You will hurt more. Ane the veggies have to be cooked or like you stated, chew and chew and chew before swallowing. I let some time past on my first occurance and it seemed forever before I started feeling okay. Cutting the veggies into slivers is really helpful if you must eat them.

Best wishes

I have great luck with chewing papaya enzymes when I get stuck. You can get them at GNC or other Vitamin store. Some people have reported finding them at Walmart or Walgreens too. Papaya is a natural meat tenderizer and helps to break down whatever is stuck so it can pass through the band.

Thanku. I'll check that out!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
