Just an Eating Reminder to New AND Experienced Post-ops

I am now 8 months post-op. Yesterday, for the first time in my post-op journey, I experienced food getting stuck. I was in a hurry, eating too fast, and did not chew the chicken carefully, though it was moist. For nearly 4 hours, I was miserable. Couldn't get it to come up or go down.<br><br>So, I logged on to AMOS to search for advice. I decided the meat tenderizer with warm water was too controversial, so I tried sipping hot tea, which was recommended by AMOS member George. Within 15 minutes, I was able to dislodge the chicken and get it up. Great advice that worked quickly and safely.<br><br>The moral of the story is that we need to be just as diligent at 8 months post-op as we are at 8 weeks post-op. A real eye opener for me in a lot of ways - returning to a high protein low carb diet with regular exercise tomorrow (just like I did at 8 weeks post-op). The passage of time cannot allow us to revert to any old habits. Especially if we expect success. I hope I'm listening to my own advice...I better practice what I preach!
