Food is stuck. Help :(

So in my 9 months since surgery I've gotten sick my fair share of times from my own stupidity (one bite too many, ate too fast, didn't chew enough, etc) but for the first time I actually feel like something is stuck. I've tried to throw it up just to get it out. Some came up but it still hurts. Any suggestions to help alleviate this? I'm sipping some hot coffee. Anyone have any other ideas? This is miserable.

I would sip hot tea instead of coffee. Warm beverages can help soothe the pouch. Coffee can be an irritant though so tea may be better. Liquids may also help dislodge the stuck piece. I will admit I've gone as far in the past as standing on my head to try to dislodge something!  Give it time and rest. It will probably pass on its own (either up or down) if not, you may need to see your doc in a few days for an EGD. (Done that too!)

Thanks I'm feeling better. It moved on its own. That was absolutely miserable. Ugh. Lol
