IMO - try to take it easy next few hrs... when something gets stuck... my pouch usually hates me ... and has no problem showing me that... liquids or really soft foods works best for a first few meals...

My mom, who is 28yrs post-op, always keeps one can of caffeine free diet coke around for when she gets something stuck. She says that all you need is one drink and to let it sit. It'll dissolve anything and get it unstuck! LOL. I've kept a bottle around just for that reason. Haven't had to use it, thank God, but it's there when I need it.

Wow Carla - I think the real story here is that you have a mom who is 28 years post op!!!

How is she doing after all this time?

Doing great! She still thinks she's heavier than she is and dresses like she's 3 sizes bigger, but she's great! LOL. She's definitely been my biggest supporter since my surgery. I think she's lost 10 lbs since my surgery! She says I'm getting her back on track. It's great to see someone so successful after so many years. We've had several in my family get the surgery and have had the whole spectrum...successful, sick, too thin, gain all their weight back, etc. I'm just glad that she's been so successful. Gives me hope.

OMG... I really feel for you.

I felt like I would turn green I was so sick... sounds like you are too!

I did sip (barely) some very warm water to try to help pu**** through and I made myself burp as often as humanly possible. I also moaned and complained a lot

Eventually, it did pass and I suspect yours will too.

on the advice of another poster, i took a 1/2 digestive enzyme pill.  immediately ran to bathrm feeling violently ill; spit tons, but never puked and the feeling of nausea passed.  but still have the terrible stuck pain.  praying it will pass as yours did.  so scared of having to go to the ER!!!  thank you for your quick reply!  laura
