I've had similar issues - when it's happened to me, I've switch for a day or two to very soft foods and drinks. Sometimes my pouch needs a break from solid foods.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

You could also be going through the MOM (month of misery) a little bit early. This happens when you eat and it hurts going down b/c everything is healing and tightening up. I went back and did more softer foods when this happened.

I have had a few similar troubles and have discovered that it happens when my food isn't chewed properly or is eaten too fast. I make my next meal a protein shake and then go back to remembering to eat s l ow l y......
