2 1/2 months out and having problems while eating.

While eating, I start to get a few hours in when I start to get what feels like food stuck in my throat. I feel as if I am eating small bites, chewing thoroughly, but it stl feels like it's stuck. Does anyone who is or was at this point post-op, ever have this problem sand any suggesting about what I could be doing wrong?

Surgeon told me stuck feeling in the throat is a result of overeating. But maybe it's drier food? I've had it a few times when I ate one too many bites of something. I usually don't eat more than 2 oz at a time and I'm 8 weeks post tomorrow.

If you are eating small bites, chewing thoroughly, and the food is moist when being swallowed, then this is something to bring up with your surgeon (or a GI specialist..someone that can take a look at things on the inside). The 8-12 week window is a time when the scar tissue really gets formed, and it may be pulling things tight. Strictures are common during this window of time. It doesn't really sound like a stricture, but it still could be something stiffening up. Did you have a hiatal hernia repair?

No, I didn't. I didn't think about scar tissue. I will definitely bring this issue up at my next follow up on August. Thank you!

*bites, not hours. Stupid auto-correct.

Hmmm...like last night, I made polish sausage and sauerkraut. I was on my second bite when I started to feel it. I cut the sausage thin and then in half. I chewed it thoroughly. I must be doing something wrong. Lol..Maybe I will start my eating phases over again and try to relearn how to eat again.

No, I don't think it's because of anything you are doing. See if you can get in a smidge sooner with your doc.
