I'm nearly 2.5 years out and I still have these episodes. Went to an Italian restaurant to split up Colorado Rockies tickets with my group tonight. I ordered something soft. Lasagna and ravioli. I spent nearly the entire time waiting for each bite to pass through my stoma. One bite, wait 3-6 minutes, then another bite. I ate about 1/3 of my food and took the rest home.

Go Rockies and there will be no polish sausage or footlongs for this kid this year :P

That is why most of us don't even grab a Water bottle or ask for anything to drink at resturaunts or even get a glass until after we eat and wait for 30 -60 min after then we take a SMALL sip to see if we can drink and make sure it stays down , it is a real learning process and that is what they call being stuck and if there is mucas involved that is known as sliming & does not feel good , so just try and remember Protein first then wait to drink a small sip , hope this might help you and for us we can not guzzle any fluids as it will come back up , right away so we have to take our tie and we are so used to not taking time that we have to learn how to good luck on your journey.

Oh yes I have had those issues happen also. They are never fun and they happen to me when I am trying to rush through a meal and I eat too fast or I take too large of a bite. It will take just about forever for the food to pass if it doesn't just get stuck.

Your right it feels like your gonna die in that moment, I get hot and clammy feeling heart racing nerves going feeling like you can't breath and then once you get hold of yourself you realize you did it to your self and yup lesson learned! Which doesn't' mean that it doesn't repeat it self when necessary :)

I feel ya. Somthing I'm learning very slowly. Chew Chew Chew. But have never been stuck on Water yet. You didn't mention what small thing you grabbed to eat. It must have been the food don't you think?

      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
