Last night, I cooked dinner for my friend Erika and had a great time. I made veal chops with polenta, roasted tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms, with a great arugula salad to start and lemon sorbet for dessert.
Erika knows about my surgery, so it was not any big deal for me to just take a small portion for myself and chew chew chew. Everything went fine, but after she went home, I was still a little hungry, so I had another few bites. And I got really stuck.
Basically, I slimed for about an hour and did a little PB, but I still didn't feel totally unstuck. I was able to have some water, and it went down, but I really had to burp after it went down. (If this sounds familiar to you and you know what the fix is, please post a comment!)
During the night, I woke up and STILL felt stuck. It was just really uncomfortable, and I had to burp. This morning, I still have an uncomfortable need-to-burp feeling, and when I drink water, it seems like my stomach is probably swollen a bit around my band b/c it feels tighter. I expect it is irritated from last night's events.
Here's to hoping the feeling goes away by mid day!

ahhh! i hate that feeling.
try some pineapple juice. i think Dole has the really tiny cans. something with the acid in it helps the stuck feeling go away.
good luck!
it sounds like your swollen from being stuck , I would recommend going on Liquids for at least 48 hrs then slowly moving back up to solids.
As for if your stuck. Its generally not a good idea to drink when your stuck. its usually a very BAD idea.
There some "home" remedies some say work. one is Pineapple juice like Christine said. The other is Pappaya enzymes. You can get them at Walgreens or GNC , the chewable kind.
Hope your feeling better
