Sometimes when I eat it feels like it is stuck and hurts in back and chest.

I am 5 weeks and 6 days post op and need help from post-ops farther along than I. When I eat, (and this seems to happen more frequently) I get a deep pain in my back through to the front, like my food is caught, or I need to burp and I can't. This is excruciating. I eventually have to throw up for relief. Here is the perplexing thing to me... When I throw up it is ALWAYS a thick, pasty mucus that comes up. It is almost gluey. (sorry so graphic) Did anyone else have this problem??? Terribly concerned.
