OMG STUCKKKKKKKKKKKK

My first stuck episode.  I was eating a hoagie, and I didn't chew it well enough.. Holy **** it was awful.  I can tell you that will NEVER happen again....my belly is till sore.  I wish I could have just thrown up, but I didn't think that would be the best thing.  I will just have a protein shake today and tomorrow for breakfast.  and I will ALWAYS chew my food very well...

I have to say though, I might be an idiot, but until now I didn't understand how the band could slip, but I do now.  The pressure when a bite is too big, is almost unbearable. 

anyway, thanks for listening.....

I feel for you, being stuck sucks. It only has to happen once or twice and you will usually be more careful. Hope you get relief soon.

You're definitely NOT an idiot.  Our whole lives have been spent eating a certain way, and it's going to take longer than a matter of months to change our old habits.  I still am amazed when I think about how I used to shovel in my food and not chew it enough.

It's a hard lesson to learn (getting stuck).  I hope you are feeling better.  May we all remember what this feeling is like and be more aware of how we are eating.

Thank you both for your replies!  I have learned a lesson!  It is something, even when I look at how much food I used to eat.  It amazes me.

I am feeling better, but I'm very tired and my belly feels sore...I have been sticking to a very soft diet, but honestly I havent eaten much of anything, nor am I hungry.....

thanks everyone!! 

Ummmm.. Why the heck were you eating a hoagie with the lapband????

why not? 

I have eaten hoagies before, I just didn't chew that piece very well.  I haven't cut out anything from my diet, I just don't eat a 12 in' hoagies anymore.  I eat a 3 inch kids sized hoage w/out half the roll.
