Meat feels like brick in stomach

Hello again! I'm now just over 3 weeks post op gastric bypass and as of yesterday every bite of (well chewed) fish or chicken, ground up feels like a brick hitting my stomach, no pain but uncomfortable feeling. After 1 bite I no longer want to eat. I see the surgeon for follow up Monday but was wondering if anyone else has had this feeling?
 
Yes, sort of but I think my doctor would just say eat that one bite and then move on to the next meal. It mainly happens for me with beef steak or pork chops. With beef I notice that if I cook it medium it's better or have it ground. Eggs, avocado, cheese, cottage cheese maybe even high protein tofu (found at trader joes) can be easier on the stomach.
