Strange Throat Feeling?

Hard to explain, but curious if anyone else is experiencing/has experienced the same. Best way to describe it is that feeling you get after drinking a ton of lemonade and you throat feels like you have to keep making a gargling action but without any liquid in your mouth. Like its coated in god knows what and you constantly feel like your trying to cough/gag it up.

No idea if I just made any sense? If anyone can decipher my crazy description please let me know your thoughts! Think it could be ketosis related ( my breath is deadly so I have to be in it)? Maybe acid (I'm on PPI but might not be enough?)? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I'm guessing acid, or you could be overeating, which for me caused extra acid. Call the surgeon let him know and see if you can take your ppi 2x a day or switch to a different one and see if that helps. I had to take protonix 2x a day for a couple of months, now it seems to have settled down.

I'm on alot of conference calls for work, and all I can say is since surgery I've noticed that I have to clear my throat MUCH more than I used to. And I mean really clear it, like I put myself on mute while I do it. I make sure I always have a glass of Water next to me during calls now. I have no idea what it is, though, except to confirm that I am also definitely in ketosis, and occasionally suffer a little bit of acid.

Thank you both for the reply! Chinamama, I agree I think a call to my doctor is in order soon. I'm just starting soft foods, so I don't think I'm overheating (frankly I'm scared to eat LOL) but I will still ask the nutritionist to be sure.

Bella, yes! I literally go through BUCKETS of Water throughout my work day! I mean, at least we're meeting our Water requirements haha! Glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this!

For me, if I over-eat even slightly, I get this to at least some degree. If I over-eat too much, I start getting a mysterious white foamy substance coming out of my mouth. And if I REALLY overdo it, then I just puke for a while.

Yeah, that's the foamies. It happened to me once... it's different than this constant feeling of needing to clear my throat.

I struggled with this after surgery. It showed up after I got thrush and I thought it had to do with that. It was so bad one night that I was gagging. Anyway it ended up being post nasal drip, I take a Zyrtec everyday now and it has been gone since. I also take 40mg Omeprazole and have since the day after surgery.

Really? Uh oh. I get the "foamies" often. Is that bad?

It means you are either eating too much OR too fast. If you really take your time eating, and stop BEFORE you are actually full, you shouldn't get the foamies. It helps to eat slowly because it usually takes a while for your brain to register that you are full... if you're eating too fast, you will have already eaten more bites before your brain registers that "fullness" feeling.... by then it's too late... you've eaten too much. Eat slow and less than what it takes to feel "full" and you should be okay.

Thanks Macy! I will keep this one in mind, too. Maybe it is allergies or something? I usually don't get them, but I'm noticing this surgery has completely changed my chemical makeup (not all bad things though!) so I wouldn't be surprised! Adding to my ask doctor list... :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
