Help. Food Stuck.

I remember a week after surgery, the protein powder curdled in my chicken broth. I decided to drink it anyway and make believe it was noodles. The pain when it hit my chest was like a heart attack. I was alone with my two cats. I tearfully told them good-bye and went to lie in bed figuring my husband would find me dead when he returned from the store.

Fifteen minutes later the pain was gone, but it was a long time before I tried anything solid again. I survived on broth and well blended protein shakes for the next two months.

Your insides are not healed enough for anything solid yet. Stick to liquids before trying food again.

I have that sensation once in a while. For me, it works to stand up and stretch up, standing as straight as I can. That seems to move whatever kink I have in my intestine and stuff starts moving along.
