Hi, I didn't have any infection but my throat hurt so bad after I woke up and even days after. It was from the tube they put down my throat during surgery. It Really hurt!! Drink something warm. That helped me. Hope you feel better!!

Gargle Warm Salt Water... but spit it out, don't swallow it! It will ease it. Did a Dr. tell you it was infected or just due to the soreness you think it is? My CRNA told me I would be sore. The pain meds should help this too...

Me too. They even chipped my tooth. 2 yrs ago i had another surgery that they busted my top and bottom lip and scratched down my throat. This time other than the chipped tooth they damaged something in the back of my throat and my burps wouldn't pass my throat.. It took a month to heal

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
