Call your surgeon's office in the morning. You may have a stricture or other problem that needs to be fixed.

At 6 weeks you should be able to eat more. I was adding salads an veggies by then without problem. I vote call your doc, he needs to take a peek and make sure you don't have a structure or something else. If it was just occasionally I'd say maybe it's what you're eating or how you're eating but if it's every time then something isn't rightZ good luck!!!

Everything you eat gets stuck. That's the big red flag for a stricture.

You need to call your surgeon's office for an appointment, so he can schedule you for an EGD. Only after, you will finally get relief.
