Hi all

I am about 4 1/2 weeks post op and doing soft foods and still a lot of liquids. I've had one "stuck" episode last week so I know what that is like, but today I'm experiencing some new feelings.

I ate a few bites of egg this morning and they did not go down right (almost feeling like stuck) so I just stopped eating. About 2 hours later I had a Protein drink. Then about 2 hours after that I started to get a really strong tightening feeling in my chest, like someone is squeezing me and it's hard to breathe. It last about an hour or two. Then tonight I had a little bit of dinner and 2 hours later I'm feeling the same tightness again. Anyone experience this and know what it could be?

I'm able to drink fluids fine, so I am assuming nothing is stuck, in fact I've been drinking a lot of Water to try to flush anything that might be there.

Thanks for any advice!

I don't know what could cause that feeling so long after eating. I would suggest that you call your doctor. At least then you would have an answer and that might provide some peace of mind.

Kim:

I suggest that you call your doctor too. Seems strange that you have such a delayed reaction. Please let us all know what your doctor says so that we can all learn.

I hope your problem goes away soon.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!
