I totally understand about needing something to chew. I told my husband I was going to lick the Bologna on his sandwich!!! Are you having problems? Why are they keeping you on liquid diet? Hang in there! Prayers be hugs!

. I am so sorry you are having to go through this! Especially after all of the stress of your surgery! Hang in there! Sending hugs and prayers your way!

Bjcpepper ...Good luck with your surgery!!!

good luck to you! It will be here before you know it!

. Good luck to both you and Jennifer! Sending hugs and prayers!

Shiloh2004...have you tried using a heating pad for gas? I was getting very uncomfortable and put heating pad on my belly. It helped me to expel some gas and was feeling much better. I also believe that the heat stimulates your digestive tract. Be careful with pain meds as they can cause constipation. Not to get too personal, but are you able to move your bowels? Hope you feel better soon!

Chair1311...so happy for you! Don't be nervous! You are going to do great! It was so hard to watch you so stressed but know we can rejoice in His name with you! Good luck and God Bless! ♥️

Congrats Alex61!!! Glad your off to a great start!!!

SuzzyQ_deli...glad your surgery is over and you are doing so well. The more you walk around, the better you are going to feel! Wishing you continued success!!! Keep me posted!

SummerDream....glad to hear you are doing so well! That's a lot of weight to lose...congrats! Can't wait until I get to eat soft foods! Never thought I would be so looking forward to eating an egg. Lol! Keep up the good work and keep me posted! ????

Chair1311...sorry to hear your frustration! Don't worry, just hang in there! Will say a prayer for you! With God all things are possible!

SummerDream...I hear you about getting your attention when you take normal size sips! How are you doing since your procedure? Are you on full liquids or purée foods yet? Hope things are good! ????

Shiloh2004 and Nikki3...I agree! It feels like everything is stuck at the top of your esophagus! I was burping up fluid a lot and the PA told me it's because everything is swollen inside. Not necessarily acid reflux, but rather, fluid that is sitting at opening. It feels like you swallowed a pill the wrong way and can feel it going into your stomach. I just take small sips. When I get the pain, it means I am going too fast. I slow down and it goes away! 3 days out of surgery and I don't seem have that back wash problem anymore. Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! ❤️

???? Songsmith....glad to hear you are doing better! Each day I felt a little better! Keep drinking and moving! You're doing great! ????

You go BrnAgn39! Sounds like you are off to a great start!!!
