NEED HELP...STEAK STUCK!!!!!

Hey everyone!!
I am now dealing with a piece of steak stuck!!! UGH!!  I made shish kabobs and had my first bite and I totally must have swallowed it without thinking and I waited to long to go throw it up and it is stuckkkkk....I feel as if the weight of an elephant is on my chest and a whole bunch of gurgling and almost indigestion feeling going on and a pain in my tummy! I don't have the patience to do a search for it and was wondering if anyone knows a quick cure!!  I have heard of meat tenderizer mixed with H2o but I dont have any...any suggestions would be appreciated!! I have had food stuck 2 other times, but within a minute of knowing it was stuck, i made myself get it up and felt 100% better within a minute...this little bugger is S.T.U.C.K. Thanks~JAMI

The meat tenderizer thing is the only thing that I have heard that works.  I am sorry I couldn't be more help.  Can you call a nurse or your DR. and ask them?

Oh... Jami.. I never eat steak.. even at 10 months out.  I have had it twice but only if it is cubed to death.  I dont know what to tell you but I hope this passes soon.

Thanks so much for your replies ladies!! I tried the warm water..I felt sick, GOT sick and I think it shifted the steak and i actually feel better!! *SIGH* That is something I do not want to experience again!!  UCK what a feeling!! Sorry to bother y'all but I knew I could turn here for help :)

Thanks again, JAMI PS..i have had steak a few times..one being the steak and shrimp parmasean from Applebees, i feasted on that for 3 days and it was as tender as the next day....I dont know what happened here :( But lesson learned!!

Glad you got unstuck, Jami.  I was about to suggest some warm water...  looks like that did the trick!  It's a yucky feeling isn't it?

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Awwwwwwww Jami........ Band or Bypass, stuck is stuck and I hate that it happened to you.  It still happens to me a lot.....guess some ppl (no names mentioned) are more creatures of habit than others.  All I can say, is chew chew chew, and focus!  (but dang, ain't it good!) lol.  Take it easy on your esophagus tomorrow.

Having things get stuck will make a beliver out of you!!! When I have something get stuck it is coming out. Still have a very hard time with steak in fact tried a filet mignon last night only did 2oz still not happy with red meat. Hamberger I do well with but mainly in spagatti sauce I do not do pasta it swells in my pouch and I do not do rice. Each person is different. What works today may not work tomorrow.                                                Annie

I'm so sorry it got stuck! I'm glad you were able to "make it pass"... I tried a kids version of the sirloin steak at Logan's about a month ago (just over 6 months out) and it did not go well... I've had very small pieces of filet mignon (chew chew chew) before and it was fine, but the sirloin was awful!  Like many have said, I can eat most things, but steak is still one thing (unless it is EXTREMELY tender) that I just can do yet...   RNY is all about LIVE and LEARN... eventually we learn what we just can't eat... Hope you are doing well!!!
