Well, you could be to tight. If I eat to fast or take too big of a bite it doesn't matter how good I chew, it gets stuck. Slow down, try very small bites and chew really well. If that doesn't work, I'd say you are to tight.

Put your fork down between bites and wait a little while (15-20 sec.)

You don't want to be to tight, it can just lead to problems so if it continues call your Dr. My first couple of fills seemed to loosen up after a couple of days.

Good Luck!

Usually after a fill I am tight for a bit too. My last fill left me very tight and I have just been sticking to softer foods (tuna, Protein Drinks and Protein bars).
