Feels like somethings in my throat

[Marissa Menditto 16]

Hey everyone, I am 7 weeks out and I'm having trouble with some foods mostly solids. Whenever I eat some foods I tend to get this weird feeling in my throat like food is sitting in it. At times I had to even vomit cause it was so uncomfortable.

Anyone have this problem??

Yes I do. I had it even before surgery and I've even blacked out, but I had a hiatal

hernia which was repaired in surgery. Prior to surgery I would have to drink lots of Water to push the food down but now when I do that I vomit the Water. I mentioned it to my surgeon today and he was baffled. I'm only 2 weeks out and on soft foods. I believe it's my new full feeling because I don't have the old full feeling anymore.

For me, that meant I ate too fast or did not chew well enough. That is the only time I had that problem; which by the way was on multiple occasions. It is a learning process. I now go slower. My worst time was at work when I didn't pay attention to the time or I was really hungry and ate too fast. I now play games on my phone while I am eating at work. I make sure I play with my dominate hand. If my hand it busy with the game I go slower eating. It has been a great tool.

Not saying this is necessarily what is causing it for you, but it was definitely my problem.

If it lasts you should speak to your MD.
