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>

      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. 🤞
