My NUT suggested getting pineapple juice and drinking it when food feels stuck. It will dissolve it.

Chew longer, eat slower. I have a stricture and food gets stuck for me all the time. When I first had surgery, one of my pills for nauseousness got stuck for three days. Sipping warm liquids finally got it down. I wouldn't drink fruit juice as that is liquid sugar and pineapple juice is so acidic it might aggravate an already irritated area.

Moving around seems to be the only way I can get rid of the problem.

Walking the stairs definitely gets food moving for me.

When I had the band, I had literally stuck food...could not drink Water, nothing until it cleared. I have never experienced this with the sleeve. Is it due to strictures?

A few times I have wolfed down food too fast post sleeve and that made me feel like vomiting, not that painful stuck feeling though. In general I have a pretty easy sleeve in the sense of no problems except for those handful of fast eating times.

I know I eat too fast. It does get stuck and makes me miserable. I tr and try and try to slow down!
