Im 3 yrs post op from my RNY and anytime i eat solid food it gets stuck and i get pain under my breastbone on the left side. Because of this i shy away from solid food and use protein drinks however there is no way to get 1600 calories without a ton of protein. Not sure what to do about it.

You probably have developed a stricture. You should call your surgeon and have an egd test done.

I had an appt with my surgeon today but had to cancel dueto having two appts at the same time. Im really starting to shy away from real food, especially anything containing bread of any kind and i know that cant be healthy

Definitely talk to your doc.

Bread is tough to deal with; stay away from it. Keep your protein up and chewchewchew!
