HELP! I just swallowed a sunflower seed whole. With the shell and all. Is it gonna get stuck? Should I make myself throw-up? Or should I drink water?
UPDATE: As soon as I posted the message, I found Blaze on Instant Messenger and she advised me to call my surgeon’s office. First off, they asked me why I was eating sunflower seeds with the shells. I didn’t mean to swallow it whole!! 
I like them in the shell because they take me so long to eat them. They said it’d be better to get the ones out of the shells so I don’t have the issue of swallowing one whole. (I got too brave and had a whole bunch in my mouth to shell one at a time and I think it was too many.) Anywho… they said that I should drink a lot of water and it would probably wash through and come out in the end the same way it entered since I’m 9 weeks post-op and the swelling has gone down. They said that if it was stuck, the water would make me feel EXTREMELY full and I would have the urge to throw-up. Well, I’m here to say, it’s either floating in my tiny pouch forever, or it has passed, because I feel fine.
That was scary, though.
