I can see understand why your esophagus was inflamed.. the vomiting probably did that.
Try just liquids for several days. To help in the healing of your esophagus try sipping on High Protein shakes. You need about 60g of protein in a day. You do not want to become dehydrated.. so add broth, jello, and juices.. not citrus juices like orange. Then progress to soft, easily digestible foods. You can search online for what is more easily digestible to figure out what to try. Any signs like vomiting or food regurgitating go back to liquid. If you cannot swallow food nor water .. have a feeling something is stuck in your esophagus you need to go to the ER.
Test. There are a few version of the regular barium swallow test… some with just the barium and some with barium and food and some with just various foods. If they haven't done a CT scan he could order that to see if their is a kink or swelling in the surgery site. There are probably more, but cannot think of it.
