You might try something warm. Cold food didn't go over well with me at first and even now 4 mos out almost

Ok I will try that. How are u eating now . Did it ever start to get better an when . I know everybody is different .

You're very smart not to push it! When you're ready, try something different, and eat it very slowly. Some of us find it takes a bit longer for the swelling from surgery to start to go down, and we need a few extra days before moving on to the next food stage. You'll get there. Welcome to the "losers' bench"!

Thanks for the encouragement .

I think it was about the 6th week before I noticed that I was able to eat and swallow without the knot in my chest but if I try to eat too fast or too much it's quick to come right back.
