Are you post RNY or LapBand? Are you following the post op diet prescribe by your surgeon/nutritionist? Are you drinking carbonated beverages? If so, stop immediately. I never had this problem, all I can recommend it to eat very slowly and chew until your food is the consistency of applesauce before swallowing it. If you can't get it like that.... spit it out. I do remember some radiation of pain in my left shoulder after eating, I was told that was normal and it would go away and it did. If it remains a problem, contact your surgeon.
