RNY this past Wednesday...and can't
Try drinking some warm water or hot tea.
Keep in mind that when they did your RNY, they didn't do anything to your throat. Pills are no more likely to get caught in your throat now than they were pre op. The most likely place for something to get caught would be in the opening between your pouch and small intestine.
But pills are designed to dissolve easily in warm wet places, like our pouch and small intestine. So even if one gets caught, it will most likely dissolve in a little time.

I second the warm tea.
Hope you feel better, soon!
