YES!! My surgery was 1/7/14 For the first week every time I had my Protein shake or drank I felt the pain right between my boobs. LIke a stuck feeling. I found out I was sucking in when I drank. Try to let it fall in your mouth. Take a smaller sip...and wait about 3 mins before you drink again. It was worked for me...last 4 days nows I have been feeling great. I know it sucks to hear slow down...but once you get that part down you will be ok. Remember...kinda like a Water bottle. squirt it in your mouth...dont sip...thats why we can't have straws

Amanda, I understand . I am only 2nd week post op as well. My surgery was Jan 7th 14. I was in for 2 days came home with my kids...went to bed and I was miserable. Was re admitted the very next day for 2 days. Running fevers. I understand what you mean. Tired of the Clear liquids...feeling you can't do this. I feel the same way. I keep thinking to myself what did I do to myself. I haven't had food since dec 22. I had to do 2 weeks of Protein shakes. My belly is still sore. I will say I have kept everything down. I am just struggling with the Fluid intake. I can't see how anyone can drink 68oz a day. This whole thing is so confusing. I can't much to cheer you up...but maybe together we can get through this

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of protein shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good protein shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.
