I have a similar situation since my last fill in November, I have to sip warn liquid in the morning and can't really eat until later in the day. Sometimes I can eat and other times, I am confined to just liquids. Sometimes even soft foods bother me. The last couple of days, I can only get fluids down with a lot of gurgling, but really not much pain. Just pressure from the stuff going down. I don't know if this is normal or not.
