Stuck ... what to do

Hello,

I have my two-week post-op appointment with my doctor today. Everything has been going well, so he suggested I move on to the pureed stage with a scrambled egg tonight. I was so excited!

I whipped up an egg with plenty of chicken bone broth, cooked it, and pureed it to the appropriate consistency. It was very moist - in fact, it really couldn't be chewed, it was very liquified.

So I measured 1/4 cup and started to eat my egg very slowly with an extremely small spoon given to me by my bariatric nutritionist. I took my time - putting my spoon down often and taking 30 minutes to eat. My doctor told me to eat until I felt full - but I really didn't feel full.

But...I have food stuck in my throat now. It's been stuck for a few hours, and it's freaking me out. I really didn't feel full while I was eating.

Has anyone else experienced this - and does it go away?

Thank you...

  • I get that sensation when I've eaten too much. It usually passes within a half hour. I think the food can't slide into my stomach and is being held in my lower esophagus. Yuck.

  • When that happened to me a couple times...I found that breathing deeply and walking really helped. The deep breathing causes the diaphragm to push down on stomach and stimulate peristalsis. Walking

    I ended up calling my doc tonight. I'll be seeing an ENT tomorrow for an endoscopy to see what's going on. Thanks again everyone for your input. I appreciate it!
