Oh yeah !!! That was my problem... I was not chewing enough and I would get soooooo sick. I would spit up real foamy syliva, I called it the foamies. I knew the second I swollowed that it was not chewed and I would be sick any where from a hour to 12 hours. I learned real quick to chew, chew, chew and chew some more !!!!

I had the same thing happen with deli meat and cheese. You're lucky yours came up. Mine stayed stuck in my throat. It was miserable. Then it sat in my pouch when it finally decided to go down.

I did it with a boiled egg one day. It wouldn't budge. It didn't hurt, but I was uncomfortable for hours.

      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.
