I am 2 wks post op and just progressed to a soft diet. Has anyone else had the feeling of something being stuck in their throat? It has felt this way all day. I can drink and swallow foods just fine and have been taking small bites and chewing thoroughly. Just curious if this was a common "feeling" or not?

It's fairly common early on. You may still be swollen. Even though the foods are soft, you may have to add a little sauce or some type of moisture to them.

@Orchids&Dragons Thank you! It's not painful or bad just odd...lol. I was hoping it was normal!

Is it food related?

Or could it be tonsil stones? My daughter gets them and I have to remove them...

I had something similar. It felt like something (I described it as a piece of flesh) hanging in my throat. The doctors checked and said nothing was there, but I felt it. Four months later, it's finally gone.

      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!!
