My surgeon cleared me for mushies after surgery. I got a little lazy to bullet the meatballs I made and instead just mashed it. I think they were a little dry and now I have an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and throat. Will this pass or do I have to try to bring it up?

I would not try to bring it up. Walk around, it will pass. Then go back to full liquids for a few days. Let your body heal. Don't stress your new pouch with meat.

Wow I know all docs are different, but mine told me liquids only for 2 weeks after surgery. I was happy to comply with that as I would rather suffer through a little more liquid diet time to make sure everything was healed up and the swelling from the surgery gone rather than having a stuck incident so quickly. I would follow Arlenes advice and go liquids only for a few days more. As for the meatball that is stuck now, my doc and ppl in support told me to always keep some papaya enzyme handy in case something gets stuck. It is sold in GNC or other health food stores.

Same here liquids for two weeks , then on the third week soft foods,

OMG!! I see we had the same idea...I too am 10 days post op and had a meatball stuck. Its been stuck since 3:30 pm.. I welcome liquids! This has been the WORST experience ever! I'm so afraid I messed something up.

I realize you are following you doctor's orders but I would consider meatballs a solid and that was not allow for 5 weeks. At this point I would go to liquids for a few days to let the swelling go down.
