Why Does It Feel Like Something Is Stuck In My Throat?



Recommended Posts

Is it because I haven't had a bm in over a week?

LMAO, I'm sorry, but all I could think is "I sure hope you're not backed up that far .).

My guess would be no, I think there would be much mor obvious problems before this would happen.

Have you ease food that is more dense than previously? Are you chewing thoroughly? Taking very small bites?

Yes, teeny tiny bites and chewing forever. But yes, more dense.

I get that feeling when I'm really full. Mind goes away after a bit. When do you get that sensation? How long does it last?

Is it painful? Mine isn't painful, it's just weird. :)

Its most likely acid reflux. You should call your doctor and tell him/her because you need to get on some acid reducders if that's the case. I'm dealing with the same issue. I saw an ENT two weeks ago because I thought the anesthesiologist messed up my vocal chords. After 4 weeks I was still sore and felt tight and like there was food stuck. She took a look with a camera and showed me the redness from the reflux and prescribed 300 mg of Zantac and Delexant. It was working ok, but the past two days have been a bit icky.

I am already on an acid reducer. And it is not painful, but weird. I wake up like that. It feels like that all day long. Ugh.

I'm betting that's the culprit. Dense Proteins, especially chicken is a bit harder to get down & I can only handle about 1/2 as much chicken as I can fish or Beans.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
