Question - abdominal discomfort

I had my son 9 days ago and ever since then I feel like food is not wanting to go down as well and I have had difficulty with foods that I never had issues with previous - ground meat, bread, etc. I have pressure under my sternum everytime I eat. Has anyone else had a similar experience after delivery? If so, did it correct itself or? Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's an ulcer? My ulcer's just hurt.....not burn or anything else, just hurt and I have a harder time eating when I have one. It could also be a stricture. Just a couple of things to check out since these 2 things could have happened while  you were pregnant and you wouldn't have been able to get them checked while you were pregnant. And if I did the math right, you weren't very far out of surgery when you got pregnant so strictures and ulcers are a good possibility. Call your surgeon and get them to check on that. I hope it gets better for you!

Thanks!
