kimmylynn73 1 Posted August 31, 2012 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?

nyxa 159 Posted August 31, 2012 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiiNaGiiNa408 23 Posted August 31, 2012 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. •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

ma46 33 Posted September 1, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
