Clavicle/shoulder pain when swallowing

Hi I’m about 5 weeks post gastric sleeve surgery and have been moving my way through the food phases. I’m currently on soft food. Sometimes on, swallowing I get pain in my clavicle.

I eat less than 1/2 a cup at a time and eat slowly and make sure my food is cooked well. I’ve eaten mainly minced chicken with veggies like cauliflower,leak carrots. Is what I’m experiencing normal?

I think you are eating too much. 1/2 cup of food at a time maybe 4 months out but not 5 weeks. Your stomach is only 2 oz and you don’t want to stretch it out. This is the time you lose the most weight. Go back to quarter cup. I doubt you are hungry after eating that much.

I eat less than 1/2 cup, I added that information as have read information about eating too much. I normally get that feeling at around 3 bites in when I’m eating chicken mince or something of that consistency, I had no such issues with purée phase.
Sounds very normal, and maybe the collarbone-shoulder pain is your "STOP" signal, mine feels like a clenched fist, I have heard of hiccupers and sneezers, and one girl when I feel started BP, her eyes watered,like she was peeling onions.??
