All Food Feels Like It Its Stuck In My Throat And Chest



Recommended Posts

Im 3 months out myself. I had that feeling when I first started mushy foods. I slowed my eating habits and decreased my portions.

My fullness "trigger" is when I get a hiccup. The hiccup is my body telling me to stop and so I do. Its fairly consistent, unless I under eat - then no hiccup. I eat between 4-6 oz of food at a sitting. 75% of it is Protein (chicken, lean meat, etc) and 25% is vegetables. I personally dont want to throw in starch/heavy carbs quite yet.

Pay attention to your body - it will tell you how to modify your eating habits. The first time I got the hiccups and kept eating, I ended up throwing it all up. Its a learning experience.

Youll get the hang of it soon!

Having the stuck feeling is nothing that we should just have to get use to, that is totally uncomfortable & for some of us it doesn't matter how small the portion we put in put mouth we still get the stuck feeling so that is a major problem for me... Some of us could possibly have a stricture & I'm definitely talking to my Dr/nurse about this... Healing time is different for everyone, there are plenty of people who don't even know what this feels like - they eat normally as they did before just in smaller portions of course...

I don't want to live the rest of my life w/ that feeling every time I eat... I pray everyone that is goin thru it that it subsides soon, I feel your pain...

I'm now 3 weeks post op and I still can't get down anything with any substance. I might have to get a swallow study done.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
