Food Stuck in Throat



Recommended Posts

I was out all day today and decided to stop for dinner and have a little Soup at the Olive Garden. I mistakingly bit a very small bit of a soup soaked bread and it got stuck. I waited for about 15 minutes and eventually, I burped and released about a cup full of saliva, the small piece of chewed bread, and some of the soup I had sipped.

There wasn't any bile and it didn't necessarily feel as if I had truly vomited. Am I alright? Is it possible that I've harmed my band? What should I be concerned about?

I've had some soup to eat in the last hour and I feel normal. My stomach feels like it normally does when I'm full with the band. If it were to "slip", what would I be looking for?

BTW, I was just banded last Friday (it's one week now)

You sound like you will be okay. I guess if that occurs again in the next couple of days I would call the doctor.

Remember you are healing and there is a lot of pressure.

Hope your feeling better.

I'd call my doc monday just to be sure. Newly banded as you are, it isn't likely your band site has healed yet. A PB (such as you had) wouldn't hurt a few months down the road but 1 week post op, it can be a concern. Your doc may want to do a test to make sure you haven't slipped.

IF you have, don't panic. He can most likely fix it and it's better to know now than to risk erosion down the road!

:blush:

I have a meeting with my doc on Monday morning; I'll let him know about it then. If it has slipped, are they going to have to open me up again? I paid for the whole thing in cash... I don't want to pay again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
