Feeling of food stuck in my throat

[missmickeyd 55]

I tried to eat some dinner the other night. It was salmon and avocado. By the time I took the 4th bite, the food got stuck in my throat and I could hardly breath. I couldn't drink because I try to follow the 30 minute rule. I then had to throw up to relieve the discomfort. I tried eating a second time; a different meal and the same thing happened. This usually is the only indicator that I get that I am full, but I don't want that feeling because it is very scary and uncomfortable. Is this happening to anyone else? Could this mean I have a stricture? 1 month post op btw.

To me it sounds like you need to stay at mushies for a bit longer. I was at purees for almost three months. At 3.5 years, I am still better at softs than solids.

I think so too, but what are some things to eat other than Soup broth and mash potatoes? Can you offer me some options? I have been getting bored with limited choices

Refried Beans. Hummus. Guacamole. Chicken/ham/shrimp/seafood/tuna salad. Squash. Crab cakes. Crab legs. cheese. Scrambled eggs. Quiche. Sloppy joes.

So many choices.

If all else fails it of course wouldn't hurt to check with your doctor

I had the same thing happen to me and I believe it was because I didn't chew well enough or I ate too fast. I agree it's very scary. I gave myself a break and stuck to Protein shakes for a 2 days. Now I'm able to eat chicken as long as it's not dry and puréed. Good luck!
