Anybody get food stuck and it feels it's still in your throat like a hard knot , with a lot of discomfort and pressure. I haven't ate much today at all. I did cut my anabiotic in half and took it. Just seems it would of went down by now. I had food get stuck this morning as well. Same issue. Wondering if some days we have where our food just gets stuck. And takes forever to go down.

When I transitioned to harder foods such as steak, it was a difficult transition. I found that softer foods such as chili and Soups went down easier, so that is what I primarily stayed with.

But if you are finding that a half an antibiotic pill is going down hard, then perhaps you have a stricture. I don't know how far along you are. If you are within the first couple months and trying to transition to hard foods, there is nothing that prevents you from going slower with your transition to solids.

My dietician recommends using papaya enzyme to help dissolve the food that's stuck. I haven't had to use it yet, but I made sure to buy so I have it on hand!

My surgeon's office recommends drinking liquids for 24 hrs after food gets stuck to help it move it along. If that doesn't help, they have to go fish it out.

Hi curlysue86! I had an endoscopy 2 weeks ago and the surgeon dilated or stretched my esophagus. The surgeon that's doing my sleeve said it's common and I may need it done after my sleeve as well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
