I am 5 days post op. My shakes made me sick because I'd just use almond milk and the chocolate or vanilla protein powder. Today I sprinkled a little instant sugarfree jello pudding powder in and it was much better. The thicker consistency went down better for me and tasted better. Hope you're feeling ok!

Incentive spirometer helps. I had my surgery Monday. I have been taking the gasx dissolvable strips and I think they help. You're right, it's worse at night when I lay down.

@"jane13" I'm feeling so much better today! I'm on full liquids and today I tolerated most of what I ate without any spasms or heartburn. The Prilosec definitely took a couple days to kick in I think. I was able to get a lot more fluids in today and go for a walk. Starting to feel better. Lots of head hunger tho lol

Good luck! My surgery was 11/23. I feel ok today, still sore. I'm on full liquids for 2 weeks. Greek yogurt seems to go down best for me. My shakes tasted horrible to me post op. I plan to try them again in a couple days. They also have Greek yogurt frozen treats that have lots of protein in them. Those and sugarfree Popsicles go down without pain now. Sugarfree pudding has been good too. I think I've had an easier time with thicker liquids than thin.

Hope you're feeling ok today! I was sleeved at mount auburn on nov 23 this week.
