I had my surgery July 2nd 2018 and I have has such a hard time. Should it hurt every time I swallow? Should I have this pain and pressure in my chest and throat? I am supposed to be in the mushy food stage but can barely keep down water, let alone any type of food. So far, I totally regret this surgery. I am so thirsty and am in pain every day. Anyone else go through this? Does this get better?
