Approximately 15 minutes after I eat I get a tightening sensation on the top of my head along with a pressure/tightness in my throat upper chest. Lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Had a fundoplication back in the middle of May. Is this what it feels like if eat too much too fast, wrong food?

I have no idea what this symptom could be, it's not something that I have experienced. Since you are still very early in your recovery, I would not advance your diet as quickly and try going back to soft/mushy food for a week or so and see if that relieves your symptoms. Also, you have to remember to chew your food to an almost liquid/creamy consistencey and eat slowly. If your symptoms get worse, call your surgeon's office.

Absolutely, and you are going to continue to feel that way. Part of your stomach is used in the wrap around your esophagus to prevent the reflux. As I said before, the healing process can be a long one and you can expect small setbacks along the way - and you are only about 2.5 months into your recovery.
