Help! Am I Still Stuck??

Miriam · May 15, 2009

Help, I need advise! My Doctor's office is closed until Monday.

Last night I was out to dinner and had my first PB. I THINK it was because of either a small bite of duck or a leaf of raw baby spinach, both things I tried for the first time after surgery. I realized something had gone wrong and went to the bathroom. The piece came up after about 2-3 minutes. While it was not an enjoyable experience, I didn't experience horrible pain, which I am grateful for!

Last night I only had Water after that and this morning have tried a Protein shake and more water. However, every few minutes, I get a sharp pain from where I am assuming my band is. It goes away quickly, almost like it's throbbing and subsides.

Is something still stuck in there? I feel okay otherwise, I'm not sliming again or anything. Should I try purees or food to see what happens or just stay on liquids? What should I do??

If you were stuck, you'd know it. "Stuck" comes with it's fair share of pain/discomfort and it doesn't come and go. I'd say things might be a little irritated. Go ahead and try mushy food and see how it feels.
