Thanks for the help! I’m struggling to get 8 cups of water and am only allowed 8 oz of Premier Protein shakes a day. I’ve tried every 15 minutes. It takes me an hour or more to get down a cup of water. I’m going to try to spread it out even more to see if that helps. I’m glad to find someone close to my surgery date. It sure helps to not feel alone!

Had my surgery July 1. The heartburn has been the worst part. I’ve never had it before. Did your problems with swallowing eventually go away? When did you have surgery?

For me the pain hasn’t really been an issue. I had otc liquid Tylenol the morning of the 3rd and nothing since. My biggest issue has been the burning sensation when drinking my water or protein shake. It doesn’t seem to matter how small the sip- it still burns. The good news about that is between sips it does settle down. I’ve already lost 4 pounds. Don’t be surprised if you actually gain a few pounds after surgery. It’s just the IV fluids. You’ll lose it quickly

Had my surgery July 1st!
