All Food Feels Like It Its Stuck In My Throat And Chest

[Inline6E46 31]

Im 3 months out myself. I had that feeling when I first started mushy foods. I slowed my eating habits and decreased my portions.

My fullness "trigger" is when I get a hiccup. The hiccup is my body telling me to stop and so I do. Its fairly consistent, unless I under eat - then no hiccup. I eat between 4-6 oz of food at a sitting. 75% of it is Protein (chicken, lean meat, etc) and 25% is vegetables. I personally dont want to throw in starch/heavy carbs quite yet.

Pay attention to your body - it will tell you how to modify your eating habits. The first time I got the hiccups and kept eating, I ended up throwing it all up. Its a learning experience.

Youll get the hang of it soon!

Having the stuck feeling is nothing that we should just have to get use to, that is totally uncomfortable & for some of us it doesn't matter how small the portion we put in put mouth we still get the stuck feeling so that is a major problem for me... Some of us could possibly have a stricture & I'm definitely talking to my Dr/nurse about this... Healing time is different for everyone, there are plenty of people who don't even know what this feels like - they eat normally as they did before just in smaller portions of course...

I don't want to live the rest of my life w/ that feeling every time I eat... I pray everyone that is goin thru it that it subsides soon, I feel your pain...

I'm now 3 weeks post op and I still can't get down anything with any substance. I might have to get a swallow study done.
