I had a transhiatal esophagectomy mid February, have been eating pureed food since coming out of hospital, then tried un-pureed food, this made me sick as I couldn't swallow it. I now seem to be living on yoghurt and soup as anything with even the smallest lumps makes me gag or be sick. When I swallow it feels like someone pressing my throat. Any help gratefully recieved.
