I'm 5 weeks out. No issues...until tonight. I ate 1 oz halibut and 1 small wedge of avocado. I guess it was too much because I'm absolutely miserable! I feel like food is rising up my esophagus. What can I do???

Try to throw up

Walk. Walk. Walk. Get things moving. Did you chew really well? Whatever you do, I would not suggest putting anything more in there until it has moved some, if not all the way. No liquids, nothing. It should go down, but it might take some time. If, by tomorrow morning, you're still having issues, call your Dr., unless you feel you need to now. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Dry foods like chicken do that to me too. Try to avoid dry foods if you can. Did you try to drink some warm Fluid?

If I eat too much this happens to me too. Feels like the food is sitting in my esophagus. I then have to make myself throw up for any sort of relief. If I can't throw up I lay down curled up and wait for it to pass. It sucks!

NO!!!! If you don't throw up naturally, don't MAKE yourself throw up. That leads to really bad habits and it's not good for your esophagus, throat or teeth.

Walk, walk, walk. Climbing the stairs is best. That will get things moving more quickly.

Measure your food, chew really well and SLOW down. :)

It has happened to me also randomly. I walk, walk, walk when it happens and try to make myself belch which provides some relief! Throw up, no way, not me!

This is the reason I can't eat much meats yet. If it is anywhere near dry I feel like I have a brick in my stomach and it is sitting in my throat. I def think walking helps but I have actually naturally thrown up cause of the feeling. Chew chew chew sometimes til it is mush helps. Glad it passed cause it is the worst feeling EVER!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
