Swallowing pains n stomach pains

[JROD 22]

Hi everyone, I'm at day 3 post OP. I'd like to know if this discomfort when I swallow liquids and stomach/cramping will ever go away??? I was able to drink 50 oz liquid ( chicken broth n water), but am pushing myself to sip more. It just tummy hurts really bad when I swallow liquid. I've been active walking a lot, n passing gas. Also, do you wake up in the middle of the night to walk and sip liquids?? I'm feeling so discouraged.

It gets better. Your stomach is healing from being cut open. I am 3 weeks out. It hurts now if I take to big of a gulp of liquid or eat a little to much, but it is a different kind of pain. Hang in there it gets much better!

Oh and I don't wake up in the middle of the night to sip Water or walk. If you have support hose wear them when you sleep, do your walking during the day.

As soon as the swelling goes down, it is like night and day. I was like you and about 5 days I got up and could drink like I used to. I was very excited. It gets better and better.

Thank you both for answering my post. I feel much better now knowing that these symptoms will subside.

50 oz!?!? That is awesome to do that so early on!!! I'm a month out and I still can't seem to get enough liquids in! Good for you. Hang in there, everything seems rough in the beginning but it gets much easier over time.

I'm on day 8 post-op and I really started to feel more like myself yesterday. I've heard from others that you feel better in about a week and that ended up true for me. I am sitting here dring my Protein Shake with no problem, unlike the first few days post-op.
