I'm 9 days post op and on full liquids and cottage cheese, etc. Sometimes i feel like something gets stuck half way between my lower neck and sternum. Other times its right under my sternum. Its like a squeezing pressure and only lasts a couple seconds, but still annoying. Today it did it when i drank water!?! Will this feeling ever go away?

Im on this forum for helpful advise.

no problem. i wasn't trying to be an (_|_), i just was like "wow... she must really have something going on to post 3 times." lol

i would have offered a suggestion, but i don't know & didn't want to tell you anything that i wasn't 100% about.

only helpful thing i can say is contact your doctor & see what they say about your issue. also was not trying to be an (_|_) there, was just sorta stating the obvious.

in any case, i do hope you'll get your situation resolved & i wish you the best. :)

PS: it is not 3 times, it is 4 times.... :/ i wonder how your phone did that. (genuine curiosity, again, not trying to be an ass)

U might be drinking/ eating too fast . This happens to me also when I take too big of a sip or eat a bite with our waiting for a few minutes before the next. If your eating/drinking slow I would suggest asking your nutrionist /doctor.

This is true for me too. If I eat/drink too much or too fast it will feel stuck beneath my sternum.

I'm 4 days post op and the same thing happens if my sips are too large. My surgeon told me about this so I don't worry but I try to avoid by sipping less buy more often.

      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.
