6 weeks out - new problem
starting yesterday at lunch time - every time I eat I feel like the food gets stuck. It hurts so bad - I start gagging like I am going to throw up but nothing comes up. I am trying to eat as slow as I can - and I am chewing. Every time it has been something I ate previously without any problems. I am starting to get scared to eat
I think tomorrow I may go back to cottage cheese and protein pudding and see how that goes. I don't want to have this happen every time I eat.
Make sure the food is moist as well, In the beginning especially needed some type of sauce or gravy. I had problems like that on and off. I couldn't eat tuna for 6 months, and I still am not crazy about coldcuts, yet I know a lot of people love eating coldcuts as their protein. Take it slow, eating cottage cheese sounds like a good idea. You are just starting to eat regular food, it takes time to make the transition.

Call the doc. Sounds like a stricture.

Pain and even liquids causing pain and/or coming back up sounds like a stricture to me. I had that happen when I was about 3 months post-op, and again at 4 months post-op. My surgeon was able to easily "widen" it via an endoscopy each time. Keep bugging your surgeon!
