eating issues/ please help

Ok so here is my story. I was sleeved on 4/30 and within the first 10-12 days I lost 18lbs. Been on a stall now for 3 weeks. As of this morning Im down a few ounces so maybe its breaking. That's really not my concern though. I feel like food is stuck a lot not high up but in my actual stomach. like it never digests fully. I take pencil eraser size bites and chew until its like dust. I take time between bites and it takes me 45-60 minutes to eat 3 oz. I know all is ok since just Thursday (2 days ago) they did another endoscopy on me. My surgeon thought that from a med I was on first week of having surgery for a uti from the catheter that I may have had yeast in my esophogus. Well it showed nothing. Everything looked great and like it was healing really well. So what am I doing wrong? I've had a horrible taste I never get rid of and I wake up every morning feeling dehydrated almost and I drink my 64 ounces of Water daily. The GI dr did say for me to stop on my allergy nasal spray because it is a steroid and could be the culprit because it could cause inflimation. I also have shortness of breath still, not to bad anymore, but well still some. I have had chest xrays and a swallow test all is normal. So I know I'm not in any danger, just always feel icky and miserable. Please has anyone ever had this does it go away and what did you do? I don't explain things well so I hope this is making sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!
