Pain when I Swallow...Help!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

Has anybody had trouble with pain when swallowing...even when there is nothing to swallow? I have had trouble since last Sunday. The only think I can think that happened was that I over ate some chicken and rice on Saturday night. I was too full, but didn't throw it up...guess I should have...anyway, I went to bed full and woke with pain when I swallow.

I called my dr on Tuesday and he told me to do liquids and to take the anti-spasm medicine that he had sent home with me after surgery. Today is Thursday and I am still unable to eat or drink without pain. I am really frightened that I really messed up.

Please weigh in and let me know if anybody has had such a problem. I saw the dr today and he said to continue to take the maximum dose of the spasm medicine. Help! tell me this is going to go away!!! I was doing so well! oh yea, I'm about 3.5 months out and down 43 lbs as of today! :0(

      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.
