I ate some eggs last night for first time, now all morning I feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat. Can someone give me some insight?

6days post op

Thanks

My guesses are that some of the eggs went back up into your esophagus when you were sleeping (presumably in a horizontal position), and/or your esophagus got irritated by the eggs or something else you ate yesterday. I would stick with liquids for 24 hours to allow the food to break down and your esophagus to calm down.

One of the reasons bandsters must be careful not to overeat is that if we eat too much food for our upper stomach pouch, the food will back up into the esophagus. The esophagus is meant for transporting food, not storing it, so food sitting in the esophagus for too long will eventually cause irritation, regurgitation, dilation, and/or painful spasms.

6 days post op? Doesn't your dr still have you on liquids?

I was on clears 7 days, full liquids 7 days, yogurt 7 days, and then eggs. So seems like you should wait a few weeks before eggs.

Was going to say the same thing...6 days post op and having eggs seems a bit fast, but i know all Dr's are different with their guidelines. You might have some acid reflux from the eggs not being able to pass properly. I would call your Doc.

i was on clear liquids for a week, then slowly introduced some other veges into broth. the only eggs im allowed to have are raw eggs at three weeks, and im not going that way. i reckon its too soon for you.

Have you tried you protein shake, and see if it washes it down?

Its worth the try.... Stay on fluids then for a while.

I have this same "stuck in the back of the throat" feeling ... did you ask your doctor? Im curious to know what the Doc said ...

Well I know when I have the same "stuck" feeling it's usually when I eat too fast. Then I stop eating and it goes away.

My "lump in the throat" feeling is 24/7 ... has been there for at least 1 wk. I have an appt on Thursday

I have issues with eggs since banding; they're not the easiest for me to digest. I would wait a bit longer before trying them again. As to the "stuck throat" feeling, I'm sorry I can't help there!
