Stuck on Water...Not on Food???

Hello there, I have a question for you all -

I had my third fill on Tuesday. Since then I have been getting 'stuck' when I drink liquids. I will take a sip and get a real tight feeling at the top of my chest. My mouth will just Water like crazy and I can't really swallow the saliva because it just adds to the pressure feeling. Sometimes it will take several minutes for that pressure to pass. I do notice that I am 'tighter' in the morning than in the evening, but I still have this problem in the evening too. It will take me over an hour to get down a bottle of water. It is basically a cycle of taking a sip, waiting for the pressure to ease and my mouth to stop watering, then take another sip.

Now for the weird part.....I do not have a problem with food getting 'stuck'. I can easily chew and swallow my meals without any issue. Since the fill I have not once gotten stuck while eating, or had any of the pressure or pain of larger items passing. I haven't tried steak or harder to chew items since the fill. My doctor has us transition to food again after a fill so my diet has really consisted of eggs, Beans, soft chicken, Protein bars and other easy to chew foods.

Why would I be getting stuck on liquids and not on foods? You would think that the liquids would just flow right through...especially when you haven't even eaten that day and your stomach is empty. Any ideas?

Either way I am glad for restriction. I was really hoping that I would achieve some this last time.....apparently I have!
