april042019 105 Posted September 2, 2019 I don't know what you can do after the fact but if food's getting stuck in there then I think you should be chewing more. A LOT more. Good luck! 2 AZhiker and Bastian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bastian 458 Posted September 2, 2019 How many times are you chewing and are your mouthfuls small enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted September 2, 2019 Whatever size your current forkful, cut that in half and then chew like mad. You won't always have to be this careful, but in the beginning, your throat may still be irritated from the surgery. Also, what are you eating? Some solids are more difficult to get down than others and may require you to add moisture (aka sauce or gravy of some sort.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady VS 1,147 Posted October 15, 2019 I hate getting stuck what can you do to push the food down...it hurts so bad.When I have gotten stuck from not chewing my food to mush, I would drink a lot of Water and it would either go down, or come back out. Another reason why I can't wait to get this thing out. I forget to chew, chew, chew. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
