Yikes! Something's stuck in my throat and it isn't a frog!



Recommended Posts

I took two Tylenol yesterday because I twisted my back in a swim class and now I am back on liquids for 3 days per my doctor's orders. I think the pills are stuck, or WERE stuck and they irritated my throat so bad they feel as if they are still there. It hurts to yawn, swallowing is horrible and I refuse to eat anything solid because if I sneeze I feel as if something has jabbed me in the throat. Burping is the worst because it feels as if it is pushing on whatever is in there and then it throbs.

IT HURTS!! I can get a Protein Shake down just fine so the doctor isn't worried yet, but the NP actually told me to go get a milk shake and drink a small amount of it to reduce swelling and possibly push the pill down if it is still in there.

Well hell!! That sucked. ;)

Let's hope it goes down soon, because my next move is onto hot liquids to dissolve it.

Anyone else ever have this?

I haven't had this, but when I was in the hospital many of the staff and nurses had had variations of weightloss surgery and more than one person told me they keep meat tenderizer with them at all times. A teaspoon mixed with a little Water will dissolve most anything that's stuck with nearly immediate results. I haven't had this happen yet, but I keep a tiny container of it in my car and purse just in case :)

I once had a pill get stuck in my esophagus pre-sleeve which caused a small erosion - it hurt like nobody's business. I couldn't really eat or drink, and finally had to go to the doc to get liquid lidocaine for the pain. Needless to say, it's an experience I don't care to repeat, so I'll probably be crushing any pills I may need to take 'till the cows come home. Hope you feel better soon!

      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.

      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...

        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.
