Second Days of Soft Food and Lump in my Throat.

On my first day eating soft food i immediately got a lump in my throat and could not clear it.  I was nauseous and still am every time I eat lump is still here and my mouth waters... anyone else?  What should I do?

I'd call your doctor - since you just had surgery you probably are still swollen and maybe should do a few more days of just liquid, or try pureed foods before soft? My doctor had me do 2 weeks of liquid post-op, 2 weeks of pureed foods then I could start adding stuff in. Definitely call your doctor though because the last thing you want is to get sick at this point when your band is still healing. Good luck!

Thank You for responding.

THIS IS WHAT I DO BEFORE I EAT....I DRINK SOME HOT TEA TO PRIME THE BAND AND I USUALLY CAN EAT WHAT I NEED TO EAT. TRY IT, SEE IF THAT MAKES IT BETTER. IT DOES FOR ME!
