I had my surgery May 25th. I have been doing good on drinking liquids but now all the sudden when i drink it feels like i have something stuck in my throat. Kind of like when you take a pill and it doesnt go down good. Does anyone know whats going on? it makes me not want to drink anything because of that feeling.

This can sometimes be acid, are you on an acid reducer? If so, what mg a day do you take?

They do not have me on any acid reducer. Should i be? even when i take small drinks. it is making me not want to drink at all. Also i have not lost 1 pound in 3 days is that normal?

Re: not losing weight--you may be hitting your 3-5 week stall.

A lot of us were told to use an acid reducer from day one, regardless of whether we had symptoms. I use Zegerid OTC. Anything with Omeprazole in it will work (Prilosec, Nexium). Take it first thing in the morning and don't eat for an hour afterwards. If you are having acid problems, that should help.

I would call the doc, though, just in case there is something else going on. Not being able to drink is not good. Are you eating ok?

I can not eat yet, i am just now going into my 3rd week. i have had yogurt and string cheese and it goes down fine. Just when i drink its like something comes up and wants to block it. its so weird.
