male only Got Something Stuck While Eating

[bigsexy 0]

Hey guys - not sure if i pb'd or slimed as this is my first experience with this. I wasn't paying attention and swallowed too big of a bite and it got stuck. I felt like i was going to die. But remembering what others have said i chose not to panic and got up and started walking around. Not wanting to puke in public i made my way to a bathroom where i just stood there expecting it to come up. But it did not,. It jsut sat there and i started having to spit because i was filling up with saliva. a few clearings of my throat the pressure/stuckness seemed to pass. nothing came up but spit but i am worried a little about it. Any help will do.

I wouldn't worry about what happened. I have had this problem a couple times when I forget I have a band and eat to fast or to large of a bite. I consider it a put myself in check moment. I find making myself burp helps to fix the problem quicker.

You'll be fine. It happens to all of us at one point or another. I've pb'd probably 20 times over the course of a year and you eventually learn to walk, yoga and different things to keep from actually throwing up. Sorry you had to go through this but hope it wasn't too bad.

Hugs,

I just had my fourth episode last night. I wanted a quick piece of meat (I know better) before I went outside to change Water (we have a few irrigated acres). If a neighbor was watching they must have thought I'd taken up chewing tobacco, cause man I was doing some "spitting". Finally cleared it.

Next time I'll wait til I'm done and take my time....

If you get stuck, I found out pineapple juice works the best of everything I tried.

sure do. I have to slow down and th best thing I have found is to get up and walk around. DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING...IT WILL MAKE YOU WORSE AND FEEL LIKE VOMITTING.

hiccups are a sign that your stuck. I think it's your body's way of trying to unstuck food in your esophagus. I don't know..but it's really annoying and happens all the time to me. I usually just end up pb'ing..which I'm sure is not good. But the hiccups are painful and annoying. PB and they are magically gone

Apple juice has really helped me when something gets stuck. It may take a few sips but works wonders.
