No fill yet, but feeling very tight! Some days I can eat almost anything....last night I could not eat any salmon or soft green beans...the day before I could not eat any chicken without choking just about unless I smother it with something that really lubricates! What is going on? I was almost wide open and now I can barely eat mushies and smoothies! I did manage to swallow a small slcie of salami at my aunts...I guess it is because it is gresy..:help:

Angela, are you giving it a rest after you have problems trying to eat something? Sometimes you can irritate your esophogus and stoma, like with the chicken you were choking on, and cause some swelling that makes everything else difficult to go down. It sounds like you need to give yourself a day or 2 back on soups and mushies.
