I ate yogurt for the first time last night and had no problem getting it down but I woke up this morning with a stuck feeling in my chest. it doesn't hurt just feels like if I take a drink or eat something it will go down BUT its not go:confused1: down. Has anyone else had this feeling? Would you be concerned? :confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused::confused1:

I HAVE!!

I truly though I was going crazy. I felt like something was stuck in my throat. I was convinced I had a pill or something stuck in there. I would swallow and the liquid would just sit in that spot for a second and then carry on going? It drove me CRAZY! I had it for 3 days and then one day it just vanished! There is hope!

I didn't have that lingering feeling, but I would imagine a hot liquid might do the trick. Try sipping on some hot hot tea and little by little it makes sense that it would move on down. Or coffee if you are at the point you can have coffee.

Mine didn't feel 'stuck' but I did have really bad heartburn the next morning, but more in the esophagus than the stomach. At my first post-op with the surgeon, he mentioned that the esophagus acts like a "pre-stomach" when the stomach is full and I am eating more good. I think that I ate too much that day with my first time to try Soup. I am always testing and will now try to eat that type of stuff earlier in the day and try to stick with clears at the end of the day before bedtime.

Sleeved on 6/10/10. 14# lost since. (blasted ticker!!!)

I get the heart burn in the morning thing... and also have a slight stuck feeling... but I wonder if this is due to the fact my tongue is getting really furred up from the protein drinks... I can clean the bit I can see... but not the part which goes down my throat so i wondered if it might be furry down there!! LOL

LOL, Sparkle! If you don't have a hair-trigger gag reflex, try scraping the back of your tongue with a spoon. It's just as effective as the tongue scrapers you can find in the oral care section of the drug store. It's good practice anyway, as we hold a lot of bacteria there. Also, a saltwater gargle might help debride some of the fur back there. Good luck!
