chest pains



Recommended Posts

The doctor said I could have mushies and I ate some chicken. Since then every night I feel like something is stuck in my throat and when I try to eat anything even Soup my chest hurts and back hurts. I am in so much pain when I swallow. Every night something feels like its coming up in my throat but i don't feel sick, i dont know if its gas, i'm almost 3 weeks post op.

Note for future. chicken IS NOT MUSHY.

The chicken is probably stuck at your stoma. Not good at this stage of the process which is why there are very specific eating guidelines. You need to phone your Dr. If you have any fill in your band it is likely that it will be removed so that the chicken can pass through. If there is no fill I am not sure what the Dr will do. You have to be able to drink or you will end up dehydrated. I just hope that you haven't done any serious damage.

You may be eating too fast. you need tiny bites, wait in between each bite and no more than 2-3 bites per meal. When you eat too much or something is stuck you may also hyper salivate with the chest pain... usually the only thing to relieve this is to throw up but thats not good for you either because you could get a gastritis or erode. I have totally eliminated meat and chicken because no matter how its prepared or how much i chew or chop it , it gets stuck. The solution to this was Protein Shakes. I actually get more usable nutrition in the shakes than i do from eating chicken or meat. i have tried many different shakes and my favorite is Visalus. Check out the web site and best of luck to you. It has been 1 1/2 years since my band and i have lost 80 lbs.www.myvi.net/katelm

I ate it in Soup like puree styled, but I think it was a it dry and it didn't go down well. I don't have a fill in me but I think its gas pain because I've been trying to burp and its like I just had surgery. I've been drinking lots of hot tea. I'm not sure if its just a cold and its in my throat, cause I can eat and drink fine, but I just feel something in my throat...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
