Is this reflux?

I am almost 7 weeks post op and I have this lump in my chest after I eat. It drives me nuts. I know I have read that you need to chew, chew, chew, etc. and I do! I do not eat much meat at all since I hate this feeling, but I even get it with soup. Example: This morning about 8:30 I had 1/2 of a balance bar, chewed to non recognition, texture of paste and took 15 - 20 minutes to eat it. Nothing to drink before, during or 45 minutes after. Have only had about 8 ounces of water since and it is now 3 hours after. Nothing else in my stomach except water since dinner last night. It is like right in the middle of my chest, above my new tummy and inches below my throat, so it is not the thyroid. Any ideas?
