Feels like somethings in my throat



Recommended Posts

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??

Sounds like you are either full or have food stuck, or both. Which foods cause these problems?

Mostly solid foods like some veggies or even chicken

I'm 4.5 weeks out and that happened to me when I tried chicken. Didn't really know how much stomach was there. Had two or three bites and on bite four felt that stuck feeling. I have quickly learned that that means I am full. It is an unpleasant feeling so I take even smaller bites that equal about three regular bites now and I'm good to go.

if it continues, call your surgeon's office. There's a chance it could also be a stricture (I had two early on - they're an easy fix).

I had trouble with veggies and chicken (if it didn't have sauce) early on. Had to stick with moister, less fibrous foods.

Thanks, I also thought it could be this too.

Someone else just told me to take papaya this week when i have problems with that "stuck" feeling. I don't know how it would help if i ate too much or too fast or the wrong food though. I have this happen quite often. I am just a slow learner, i guess! I eat too fast or too much. I'm 3 months out and in the "trial and error" phase where I'm experimenting with regular food. I still stick pretty closely with yogurt and cottage cheese, string cheese, tilapia, Soups, Protein Shakes. I like cheerios now (makes me feel "normal") with fairlife milk and unflavored Protein Powder in it for Breakfast.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
