Having trouble swallowing ... I am three months out down 65 pounds however, within the last 5 days I have been experiencing pain when I swallow. It feels like a big lump. Makes me short of breath and nauseated. I have chewed my food to mush but still have troubles. I eat things like Beans, scram egg, chicken. Has anyone experienced this? If so what were your remedies?

It does not happen a lot, but it's not uncommon either for the esophagus to constrict near the stomach, or for there to even be a stricture at the top of the stomach.

Either way the resolution is fairly simple. You'd need to see your Dr. about getting scoped and having the restriction dilated. This is a very simple office procedure and can be taken care of in just a few minutes.

Is your breathing becoming obstructed or just swallowing food is a problem?

Let us know how you are!!

Did you call your Dr and tell him what your experiencing?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
