Hard Time Swallowing 2 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

I have yet to have a "stuck" incident, but I do find that certain food get stuck in my throat when I swallow... almost like my throat has narrowed or something?!?! I almost feel like I cant breathe while its trying to go down. This does not happen all the time, but enough to where I am worried. I am about 7 weeks post op with 2 fills, the last being 2 days ago. Anyone else have similar issues....?

I have had that happen a few times. It was scarey, you can't breath or swallow. I sort of narrowed it down to over eating. I think it happens when I a full (or too full is perhaps the correct term ) did you notice it was towards the end of your meal?

No, it's always within the first couple bites that it happens. Usually I stop eating after it happens....

i've been feeling a tightness in my throat for about the past two weeks...it started when i got sick with a cold and was having trouble swallowing thick phlegm...i still have a bit of a cold but my throat feels tight and i am beginning to think it is not related to the cold...i have also had two fills and cancelled my third due to this feeling...i have had three stuck episodes all totally my fault...but this tightness is irritating...no trouble breathing, but swallowing definitely feels weird and this is even when i'm not eating...

That was happening to me in the mornings after I had a cold or it may have just been post nasal drip from during the night. I would take a teaspoon of Mucinex and that seemed to help me. Hope you feel better soon.

      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.
