Ok so around 4pm i started drinking an 8 oz. protien and PB2 shake. i only had about 2 oz. left @ about 4:40 give or take when all the sudden i felt like something was stuck in the bottom of my throat. it hurts to swallow and hurts all the way to in between my boobs. It hurts like hell. I tried drinking warm Water to see if that helped but only made it worse. Here it is 6pm and it still feels the same. Has anyone else experienced this or know what is causing it? Im sared and in pain : (

I don't know. Could it be an esophagus spasm? Have you called your surgeon? Mine calls me back really quick...

I have had this pain a few times and Saturday night it happened and I threw up after an hour and a half of walking the floors of my house. First time throwing up since surgery on April 2. Then the pain came back and threw up an hour later too. Went to my dr on Monday and he is going to do a scope to see what is going on. Said scarring could be causing a stricture. Did fine first 5 weeks and then all of a sudden, food and sometimes even drinks causes that pain...like it is stuck and has no where to go. Hope you feel better soon.

I agree with Nel... Could be a spasm. I would get them all the time when I had my sleeve done. I would also get them in my stomach. Call your doc. If its a spasm there are meds that could help.

I didn't call the surgeon since it was after office hours and I didn't feel it was a true emergency. I did call a friend who had RNY in November and she said I drank my Protein Shake too fast and it was from that. She told me to walk walk walk!' Not to eat or drink until it was gone. It finally went away around 8:30. But I haven't had anything to eat or drink since. Figured I would wait till the morning and see if it happens again.. If it does I will call the surgeon.

I'm glad it went away... Hope it stays away! :)

shame you poor woman! i am glad you are better now! that really is very scary.

I've been having a little problem myself for these past 2 days, a bit of a stuck pain seemingly in the same place. I've made a lenthy post about it in the post op group, don't want to state everything here again.

but reading the other answers it really scares me. i've been doing relatively well, and perhaps getting a bit too cocky - by not eatling slow enough (how slow is slow???), and having little tastes of things i shouldnt be having yet (but I am feeling fine!)

i am so scared now and just want to climb into a box and cry, cry!

No problem today except throat seemed a little sore. Maybe it was a spasm. I'm going to let my dr. know about it anyways. But praying I doesn't return

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
