Can applesauce get stuck?



Recommended Posts

My baby was starting to cry upstairs and I was so hungry so I grabbed a small container of applesauce and quickly ate 3 spoonfuls. Then I bounded upstairs and rocked her for a while. After a few minutes, I noticed a stuck feeling in my chest. I can swallow Water and it goes down, or at least it doesn't come up...can applesauce get stuck? If not, why do I have that lump feeling behind my breastbone? Thanks for any info!

Anyhting you eat fast or gulp down can get "stuck". I have taken a couple of big gulps of coffee and had that feeling. It doesn't seem to last as long as more solid foods. Every time I rush I get in trouble.

Thanks Alison. I think I figured out that it is gas. I guess when we gulp we force a big air bubble down and it stays there until we burp it up or it filters down somehow. I tried a Gas-X strip and a little soda Water and it is uncomfortable but I'm sure it will be OK soon.

Also your band has periods when it's just tighter at that time. My band might be a tighter in the mornings. Sometimes it's even hard to drink my Protein Shake. A couple of times it's been tighter at night and sometimes I think it's because I've been eating light all day then I try to have a meal and it's like "Oh Hell no!"

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
