15 months later and my first "stuck" episode

Today I came home for lunch (never do that because I only have 30 minutes for lunch), and apparently tried to eat my lunch too fast. 

I have never felt so awful in my life.  It got to the point I couldn't even keep water down.  I don't very often get sick, but man I was today.  Needless to say I didn't go back to work.

I am better now, but the surgeon's office told me to eat soft/liquid for a day or so until my pouchie settles down.  I was very scared, but doing well now.

Hugs Lori!
I so know where you were. I live in that world so often. I just went through a spell off it feeling like my pills were sitting in my throat all night, then this morning I had to take more and I ate 1/2 a banana and it still felt like it was all sitting right there. For lunch today I took tom soup, I was not chancing any mishaps LOL. Soup went fine. This eve I had a frozen Michelina's Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes.. it was fine. I hope this isn't the same story tomorrow.

I wish you the best and think of you a lot. If you need anything give me a shout on here. I will help how ever I can
Hugs,

Hey Lori

Good to meet you the other night at support group. Wow that you have been so careful not to get things stuck before now. Glad to hear things have settled down again.

I have been on vaca in California for a few days so I couldn't reply. 

Getting stuck is scary the first time.  I have been stuck about 5 times.  It really hurts.  After an episode, I try to limit what I eat to liquids or mushies.  I agree you have been awesome not to have had this icky thing before. 

Oh, I've had it before, trust me.  Just never to this extreme.  It was HORRIBLE.  Normally, it passes one way or the other, eventually.  This was going nowhere.

That does not sound fun! :(  I have read that Papaya Enzyme works wonders for stuck food..but have no experience with it..and hope to keep it that way.
Hope you feel better.

I had this happen about 4 weeks after surgery and omg it hurt and I didnt know what was going on. But after about a day or so I could eat again. I have had it happen since then but its taught me what to eat and what not to ear. It sucks but you have to learn some how i guess.
