Has anyone one tried throat numbing?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone who has been sleeved used a throat numbing spray or lozenge after surgery for the pain. I bet after they put the bougie in and move it around a lot that the throat hurts quit a bit!

Don't recall a sore throat but did have a dry mouth and was give a mouth swab.

My Dr won't allow gum or mints the 1st 2 weeks just in case they are accidently swallowed.

I had a scratchy throat for several days. My voice was actually different for close to a week because of it. But, it didn't really hurt. It was more like when I have really bad seasonal allergies. It felt more dry than anything. I never needed anything for it, but the pain meds you will have will help too if you have a sore throat.

      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.
