I am 1 week post op and started in full liquids I had the chunky soup vegetable only (very soft) n I'm sure I ate it or swallowed it too fast because now I have this uncomfortable feeling that the food is stuck in my throat n I need to throw up or make it go down...problem is I can't throw up, I tried to make myself throw it up but all I get is burping. Help what can help for this feeling to go away??!!

Is possible to be gas also, try gas x or something for the same porpuse. Walk and relax.

Just wait. You are still in the acute healing. I suggest that even very soft chunky soup is too much. Puree the soup and see if this helps. You WILL be able to progress to chunky soups but it might be a month or so.

In the first few months post op all my soups were creamed lowfat soups & had to be strained. Every surgeon is different. However, I was never uncomfortable & enjoyed the soups. I hope you feel better soon. Ps this is a work in progress. You will figure out what works for you! Best Wishes Tina

Walk, walk, walk. Sounds like you ate too much, too fast. Keep burping, it will go down.

this happened to me with soup too in the full liquid stage. It was horrible and felt like I had swallowed a rock that was just sitting there at the top of my stomach/throat. It was painful and just plain sucky. I think it took about 2 hours of me walking around and not drinking anything else for it to go away. But lesson learned, I made sure I paid attention to everything I swallowed after that! and chewed my soup LOL I really hope you feel better by now.
