Feeling Of Food Sitting In Throat?



Recommended Posts

I was starting to think I was the only one having the problem. I already had 1 endoscopy done and will most likely have to have it done again. My doctor saus most patients have to have it done 2 times so we will see

I had the endoscopy this morning and they said I had some stricture. They said scar tissue had formed around the opening of my pouch restricting my food intake but allowing fluids to pass through. They said the opening was really small. I have to have the procedure done again next week but honestly this is the most comfortable I've felt since before surgery. I even at 3 bites of mashed potatoes without feeling sick or like something was caught in my throat

That's awesome. I hope they will be able to do that for me!

Mine isn't to bad anymore I'm thinking. Mine might have been the swelling but don't wanna ginx myself

I'm not sure what mine was as it only happened a few times, and hasn't happened for ages now. I hope everyone else's problem is sorted soon xx

That's awesome....gives me hope. I've got to call the dr Monday to inform them the mess didn't work so they can schedule an endoscopy.

      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.
