:confused2:Today was my first day of mushy foods and things have not gone well. I get this feeling about 2 1/2 hours after I eat that something is stuckk or I get real clammy and then have diarrhea, sorry:( Has anyone felt like this? Then when I get the feeling something is stuck, I start coughing and feel like I am going to vomit and my food is stuck in the middle of my throat. Please HELP! Anyone else feel this way? I was banded last thursday, 8/14/08. The acid that comes up when I am coughing burns my throat!!!!

wow! you need to vomit it out, you will feel so much better once you get it out. trust me i been banded since march 2007 and to this day still have those awfull scenes.

you need to eat slow and take very small bites and chew alot before you swallow it.

good luck, hope you feel better!!!

Sounds like clumping. Are you eating to fast or to much and are you eating what was reccomended? I was told that if you eat to much or to fast and not what you are suppose to this is what will happen. I hope you get to feeling better.

I've been on LBT a long time and have been banded for 15 months myself. I've never heard of this reaction. Please call your doctor on Monday and in the meantime, I think I'd stay on liquids.< /p>

I was also banded on Aug. 14. Today was my first day of thick liquids then next Friday I can start mushy foods.

Do you think the food was too thick or chunky for you? Maybe you should eat some softer things for a few days.

Good luck! and feel better soon!

I agree with Terry, I would go back to liquids and try again later. You might even want to contact your doc before you try again.

I hope you get to feeling better, that sounds like no fun at all!
