    I'm sure it will pass. It might be from anxiety. Makes drinking or eating harder and more restricting.

    I feel the same way. It takes me all day to get a bottle of Water down. Some days I can't even get the whole bottle down. I don't want to dehydrate...so trying popsicles too.

    Today is day 5 and it's getting much better!

    Have to be careful with stress it causes the band to tighten somehow try relaxing and not letting yourself get worked up over small stuff and it's all small stuff
