Hi I'm new with a question
I added a sh*t-ton of mayo to fish and chicken early out, otherwise it got stuck on me too. Ground beef took forever to get used to, and even now it can still hit me weirdly...

Welcome; you will find this a great place for all kinds of advice whether you ask for it or not. To prove it, here's more than you may care to read. I am almost four years out, ate a piece of walleye last night, and got that stuck feeling-- not sure if the fish was dehydrated, I was dehydrated, didn't chew well enough, ate too fast, or a combination of all. Stuck days are a painful reminder for me to behave. I keep papaya enzyme chewable tablets in the medicine cabinet to help dissolve stuck meat. (chewable tablets are to be used seldom for they may be hard on the pouch). Please share why you waited 3 hours after eating before sipping on water because at four weeks out; I was instructed to sip water within an hour after eating. Mixing mayo with canned meats is a suggestion. Low-calorie options to moisten meat before consuming are lemon juice, au jus, or water. Again, welcome, stay well-hydrated, and find assurance you'll figure things out as you go.
We were out with Hubby's cousins from out of town and so we ended up walking around the city a bit and on the way home got bottled water to sip on. Given how horrible dinner was sitting, I wasn't incredibly motivated to put anything else in there anyhow.
Three weeks after surgery I could eat anything I wanted to as long as I pureed it. Now seven weeks out I'm finding that chicken and cheese have become definite nos. It doesn't matter what I do with chicken now.....if I eat it I immediately start hurting and know that it's coming back out. If I keep it down I can feel it sitting in my stomach for hours. Nope....no more chicken.
I had surgery about the same time as you are. Foods I was fine with just last week, are coming back up this week. From everything I've read and been told, this is normal - you're learning what your body will tolerate and what it won't.
The best advice I've been given about this is to go back to liquids for a day or so and then try again, but maybe hold off on the food that came back up for a few weeks before trying again.
