New To Group, & Have Question About Lump Feeling In Throat.



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just had the LB done on Dec 7, 2011. I feel great except I have a lump feeling in throat when I swallow. I am on purees. It is like when you swallow wrong and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. This just started on the 30th so I haven't called the doctor. I am so paranoid of slippage or a block. I saw the nutritionist on the 28th and said allll was good. Has anyone had this issue? If so please let me know it is so annoying.

I got banded on 10/27 so i've Bern on solids for a while and not at my green zone yet. I sometimes get that lump feeling too while i'm eating. Any ideas on what that, means?

When you say swallow , do you mean when you swallow your food? Does it happen when you swallow Water?

Is it worse early in the morning than in the evening?

For me, I can "feel" my band 80% of the time with every swallow. I would not call it a lump, but perhaps close.

For me, that's just the way it is and I live with it. I just make sure I take small swallows, no matter what it is. It can hurt if I gulp water! Let alone food.< /p>

There is a band there after all, and it is controlling how and what I eat.

Try eating much more slowly than you could have ever imagined possible. Tiny bites etc and see if that makes a difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
