My first scare

Last night, I had my first small though real scare following my surgery.  I sat down for dinner with my BF, took a bite (I was eating salmon with sorrel sauce and couscous), swallowed and got it down but it's as if the bite didn't really go through as I felt a tightness in my small stomach.  It was not the first time that I felt that tightness but it was the first time that the tightness didn't go away within 5 minutes.  In fact, the tightness didn't go away for maybe 45 minutes.  Naturally, I stopped eating, I couldn't take another bite anyway, and I felt so uncomfortable that I had to go for a walk around the block to try and get rid of the discomfort I felt in my stomach.  I was producing massive amounts of saliva.  I think my body was trying to lubricate my oesophagus so the food would pass and since my stomach was blocked (at least I think), the saliva was just accumulating and giving me nausea so I threw up a couple of times (no food, just mucus) while I was walking.  I finally got back home after walking for maybe 10-15 minutes, the tightness was still there, threw up mucus one more time and the tightness was gone.  Yeah!!  I felt such a relief.  Even though I knew that the food would logically eventually pass through my digestive system, I was a bit worried.  And to feel the discomfort of the tightness go away was a relief in and of itself.  After that, I was worried about eating even though I felt hungry, after all, I had just had one bite for dinner.  Still, I waited a couple of hours and finally ate one piece of cheese and one small tapioca pudding.  They both went down easily.  This morning, I still didn't have breakfast and I have to admit that I'm still a bit worried about the food going down but I know I have to eat so that's what I'm going to do now.  Hopefully, it will be ok.
