I had surgery Monday it Wednesday and I’m so miserable. I’m sorry I choose this. Is any one have ideas to survive these first days?

Hang in there. Is was so hard. I’m 13 days post just now able to get water down better. Luke warm is best. Cause cold causes the esophagus to constrict harder. I can’t believe water 💦 is still the hardest part. I don’t think mine was gas in the chest I felt more like just swelled so I kept ice packs on center for days. And took spasm med round clock. It was the hardest days I’ve ever been through. I can smile today. So will you again.

So sorry. I had that too so bad. I tap my chest lightly til it burps. Drink room temperature or warm water cause it causes less tightness in the esophagus. Water is tough. I felt like someone was sitting on my chest. But finally went away. Im a slow healer but I think I’ve turned the corner 11 days post op. Everyone says it will be worth it. We dog gone done and done it. So let’s hang in there and hope for the best life yet to come. 💕💕 God bless

It sure helps to know I’m not alone.

Thx for advice I’m trying.

Thank you For encouragement. I just got back from having iv treatments today. Trying to stay motivated. Trying to remember why I choose this. That’s one thing it does. Changes your taste buds and no hunger. Which is hard
