Weird Feeling in chest

[RyanZ 0]

I had my surgery on August 17th and lately as I'm progressing to soft foods and even mushy I get this feeling in my chest maybe like the food getting stuck maybe? I'm not sure what that the stuck feeling feels like? It hurts pretty bad and feels like I'm going to throw up. It could happen on my first bite so it's not when Im getting full. Ive tried taking smaller bites and chewing much much more. Still happens. Any advise?

Since you were just banded it could be that your band isnt ready for the food you are eating. I know that when I cheated once before it was time, it hurt to eat that kind of food. You might be swollen still.

Maybe stay on liquids for a while longer and contact your doctor if you really worried.

Go back to fluids for a day or two, and then try the soft foods again. You may still be a little swollen.

thanks I think its just a trial and error thing with soft foods. Boy does it suck though when it hurts.

I was banded the same day as you! I have had some discomfort as i switch to mushies. It's helped me to aet a lot slower. I hope we can stay in touch since we are on the same time frame. When do you get filled? I get filled on Sept. 28th.
