5 Days Post-Op

[MicheleFL 0]

Good day everyone!!

I am 5 days post-op today and I am struggling with my liquid diet.

Even when I take extremely small sips of room temperature Water I feel extreme pains in my chest.

I am worried that I am not able to consume the adequate amount of nutrients.

Did anyone else experience this?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!!

Hello, I'm also 5 days post op and am having the same problems. What advise I was given was to take a medicine cup and feel it up and shoot it back every 5 minutes or so through out the day. I find that working for me but still have the pain but not so bad =) good luck I hope this can help!

I recall feeling chest pain that I associated with Gas. Gas X strips and forcing myself to walk helped greatly. I know I felt encouraged to get my liquid in bc you can get very sick if you don't stay hydrated. I hope that helps some. Take care!

I am three weeks out, and Fas X chewable a was my savior. The pain lessened on day 6 for me. It gets better for sure. Good luck

I am 5 days as well. I have found that cold liquids are easier to go down the gobbler. Have you tried popcicles or ice chips besides liquids?

I was the same way, I talk to my dr he said for some reason Water can be harsh so he told me just to drink watered down Gatorade or juice. That helped me out alot, before I couldn't get anything down. Hope it helps
