Pain when I eat!
Ok guys for the last 2 days every time I eat and it starts to go down it is like it gets stuck and causes great pain I have tried to flu**** down with something to drink but it just makes it worse and I am up throwing it back up.And I know it is not from eating to fast or not chewing well enough because I do just fine with that.So if anyone might know what this is from please let me know!!!

CALL YOUR SURGEON!!!!!
Could be a stricture, which is easily fixable by an edoscopy and is common post-op. Or it could be the foods you are eating. How far out are you? I know the first 2-3 months, what was fine yesterday gave me problems the next day, so it was confusing as to what worked and what didn't. I would get that feeling if I didn't chew good enough or if I was eating a dense meat. But I would totally call your surgeon - even if it's the weekend. They are ALWAYS on call and will call you back within an hour or less of you calling them.
When you do throw things back up, try doing liquids for the next 24 hours to calm your epigastric system down and not agitate it. Also drink SMAR****ER to replenish the electrolytes and such because throwing up - even just a little - dehydrates us even though we don't feel it.
I hope you get to feeling better soon and that food stays down. But it sounds to me like a classic stricture which is fixable and common post-op.

Hi Candi~
When I had that kind of pain, it was because of what I was eating. My surgeon told me NOT to drink anything because it would make it worse, but I'm only 7wks out. I would definitely check with your surgeon. I hate to hear about your cervical cancer. I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep me updated... [email protected]
God Bless,
