Is this normal?

I got a fill on Oct 31st, my surgery was Oct 2nd. My fill was to 3cc. I got the AP band. I'm having pain and soreness still. Even if I'm not eating I feel sore (as if I had been doing tons of sit ups). I thought the first couple of days that it was just normal soreness. I keep PB'ing, I think. I eat something and usually feel the food in my esophagus, like it gets stuck. Sometimes I bring up what looks like clear mucus. I have also been having allergy problems. Trying to figure if this is all normal (maybe with allergies) or should I keep bugging my doc about it?

I forgot to mention that a lot of times I feel pain and soreness, only to end up burping later. Hehe.

This is just a guess, but "pain and soreness" combined with "burping" to me = stuck. Whensomething is stuck, your body produces thicker saliva, similar to what's produced just before you're about to vomit. And copious amounts of it, too. Adding this on top of whatever is stuck will just make things worse.

What are you eating? How are you eating? How big of bites? How long between bites? If you've not eaten for 10 hours, do you still hurt, or is it only when you've eaten/are burping?

I was eating ground beef or pieces of chicken, no skin on the chicken. I did have a piece of steak last Sunday. I decided to try to let myself heal a few days and and have just been drinking Protein Shakes. This morning, for example...Slim Fast shake. 16 ounces of Crystal Light. I can't stop throwing up that clear, thick stuff. Although I thought it was mucus at first, I think it's what was mentioned above. When I burp, I feel better. It "feels" like something might be trapped, but I can't get it up! Heh. Yesterday....2 oz of Egg Beaters, Slim Fast shake at lunch time, and 2 oz of Egg Beaters for dinner.< /p>
