So, after my "cheating" yesterday, I figured I'd call the doc and see if I was officially able to upgrade my diet. He said I can upgrade to soft foods now! Yay! So things like applesauce, pudding, baked potatoes, tiny pasta, eggs...all a GO!
My throat is very confused though...I am getting that lump in my throat that I was complaining about before surgery...it was one of my top symptoms. I'm not sure what's going on here. I am still taking my reflux meds (Dexilant) and am not feeling any 'regurgitation' or anything. I don't feel like the food isn't getting through...this lump usually appears about 1/2 hr to an hr after I've eaten. Last night I felt nauseous again, so I took some Reglan...when I woke up, I felt fine and the lump was gone...but it reappeared shortly after being awake. I've had it all day now. It went away for a bit when I tried eating a scrambled egg (yum), but is back again. Ugh.
I'll just keep taking it very slow with the food (and avoiding dairy in anything more than tiny doses!) and I'll ask the doc on Monday about this globus sensation.

I get a similar type of lump in my throat. Sometimes it's bad enough to make me gag, most times it's not..just there. It shows up randomly and will usually go away when I relax or I'm not paying attention to it. Once I think about it again...like HEY, it's gone...it returns. It's all anxiety related. Just throwing it out to you.
