Uncomfortable feeling



Recommended Posts

I am 1 week post op and started in full liquids I had the chunky Soup vegetable only (very soft) n I'm sure I ate it or swallowed it too fast because now I have this uncomfortable feeling that the food is stuck in my throat n I need to throw up or make it go down...problem is I can't throw up, I tried to make myself throw it up but all I get is burping. Help what can help for this feeling to go away??!!

Just wait. You are still in the acute healing. I suggest that even very soft chunky Soup is too much. Puree the soup and see if this helps. You WILL be able to progress to chunky Soups but it might be a month or so.

In the first few months post op all my Soups were creamed lowfat soups & had to be strained. Every surgeon is different. However, I was never uncomfortable & enjoyed the soups. I hope you feel better soon. Ps this is a work in progress. You will figure out what works for you! Best Wishes Tina

this happened to me with Soup too in the full liquid stage. It was horrible and felt like I had swallowed a rock that was just sitting there at the top of my stomach/throat. It was painful and just plain sucky. I think it took about 2 hours of me walking around and not drinking anything else for it to go away. But lesson learned, I made sure I paid attention to everything I swallowed after that! and chewed my soup LOL I really hope you feel better by now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
