I'm Stuck

So, I ate something I shouldn't have and it got stuck. And it hurt, and I kept burping frothy grossness. Now, I am concerned post surgery--will I always have that pain/discomfort the rest of my life when I eat something? I mean, if I take a bite of something I don't want it to hurt everytime I eat.

I read to have a bit of warm water with meat tenderizer in it *a little* that desolves whatever is stuck. So, I read. I have never had to, although when my med got stuck, I thought I was going to die. Hope this helps!

Hopefully this was just a learning experience. if it was food then it needed to be chewed more and maybe smaller. i was told that you are supposed to eat bites smaller than a pinkie nail. That is small. Hopefully it will get easier, this is a huge learning curve. I will probably be where you are in a month though so I will not talk smack LOL

Hey mamasara
I would also just add that they should check to make sure you dont have a stricture...and that can be done with a NON invasive test

Hey Mamasara,
I have never had anything stick or even cause discomfort. I am worried that the darn thing may not work. Just for giggels I tried some bad things like bread, and steak. Nothing seems to matter. I havent had a fill yet... but I am concerned. At least we can say yours works!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
