Gerd Surgery Hairball effect

Hi Fantagirl90,

Sorry to hear about your surgery after effects. I can't give any advice on that but I can share with you what I do for my swallowing issues.

After many years of having food items get stuck in my throat which sometimes included a trip to the emergency room, I located on one website how I could make it easier for myself to eat meat. Of course I still have to eat small pieces, but I have also discovered what helps me in a big way.

I purchase a jar of avacado mayonnaise from the store, that kind appears to be healthier looking on the label, and I mix some of it in a bowl with a herb or herbs like oregano and basil or sage and rosemary. I put some of the mayo on my fork, then the bite of meat, and wah-lah, delicious too. Course it can be fattening, so I don't get too carried away.

Also I have to make sure I'm drinking water with my meal.

Hope you can find answers to your question about surgery.

Thank you for the advice, I have gone back to soft foods. The weird part is that I can feel the food get stuck then start to slowly move downwards and sometimes it is painful. I hope it does get better, but for now I will continue to eat soft food.
