I'm 4 months post-op I can take regular swallows. I have to drink slowly, no chugging though :-)

I have a question too. I'm new to this board so I don't know about proper posting protocol. I had surgery on 9/4. I still can't eat. Everything I put in my mouth makes me sick. I evev switched toothpaste Is okay to just get used to things for a few day and just take Water , Vitamins and meds? Then start Protein Shakes when I can tolerate water?

Yes, in fact my Dr. Said just Clear Liquids for 4 weeks. If your stomach isn't ready, don't push it. Stick to broths, sf popsicles, sf Jello, etc... And chk with your Dr. Good luck!

I went through this for nearly 3-4months! Everything I ate & drank made me sick! You shouldn't really be eating anything this early though. Your only 2 weeks out right? If so stick to liquids, and sugar free pops- if you feel like you have to eat do soft mushy foods, like mashed potato's, humus, etc. Follow the diet your dr gave you exactly!!

I'm 3 months and I can drink quickly but not a whole bottle. Just 2/4oz in one setting then wait a while till I get more if I need more Water.< /p>

I could only sip at first, now I am 5 months post op and can take regular sips now. But sometimes if I chug too much it hurts which puts me right back to "regular" sips.

I'm 6 weeks post op and forget to sip wow that can hurt like all get out. I forget to chew chew chew eat to fast all the things we did when we were bigger.

This takes some getting use to.

I am with bbdoodle, I am 3 months out today. I find in the mornings I am really thirsty when I wake up and find myself taking bigg gulps of Water but I regret it because my stomach starts to hurt so now I take small sips but occasionally forget. Just be careful and take sips.
