Burping and even liquid feels stuck!

[Sissiegirl72 7]

Hi all! I'm 3 weeks post op today and for the past 2 or 3 days I've been feeling like something is stuck in my chest. Not just when I try to eat my mushy food. Even liquids feel like they are stuck and I'm burping constantly! Anyone else have this issue and how long did it last? I have not gotten sick even once since surgery and I'm planning on keeping it that way but it feels like something wants to come out. No nausea though. When I burp a little liquid comes up into my throat. Doesn't burn like acid reflux. Feels bubbly. Taking gas X strips and Protonix. Haven't really had any other issues besides this.

I'm starting experience something very similar. Going to call the doc today, I'm sure it's normal, but it definitely not comfortable.

Are you maybe swallowing what you are eating or drinking a little too quickly for your body to take? Maybe also eating/drinking too quickly?, I try to take at least a half an hour for either a meal or a drink (am almost 11 months post op VSG) and I still get that feeling on the rare occasion.

I have been drinking at room temp. I did find early on that too cold felt bad. As far as taking in too much at once, I guess that's possible. But I do wake up with the feeling sometimes. I do try to be very concious of how much I'm putting in my mouth.

If you're waking up with that feeling that maybe you're eating or drinking too close to bedtime

[Sissiegirl72 7]

Maybe. I'll try to cut off drinks a couple hours before bedtime. Only problem with that is they tell me if you're awake you should be sipping! But maybe that just doesn't work for me.

Had that problem asked my Dr she said that happens once your pouch is full whether it's food or liquid. Once the pouch is full everything just sits in the esophagus until there's room in the pouch to pass through.
