I feel like I have a back-up of food, especially at dinnertime,

5 1/2 mo post op and having dificulty at dinner time especially. Whenever I try to eat meat or protein, after a few bites, I feel as though I have a back-up in my stomach/esophagus. Food feels like it is stuck. Can't swallow, can't get any air up or down, have sever pain. Only relief I have is if I make myself vomit. Then pain and discomfort is gone immediately. Had an upper GI which was negative for a blockage. Chewing food well, eating slowly, doing all the things I'm supposed to do, but have unexplained severe pain. This has been going on for a few months with no relief. If I eat salads, soups, fruit -- no problems..... meats and solids that I can eat today, I can't tolerate tomorrow. No definitive pattern, just a feeling of food backing up in the back of my throat causing severe pain. Any help from someone experiencing the same would be appreciated.
