[WendieBryant 11]

6 days out and feel like total and complete crap

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

It gets better!

I am 3 years out and I FEEL and LOOK wonderful - best of my life. Hang in there.

[WendieBryant 11]

I'm hanging lol, just very frustrated

[Newlife@55 31]

@wendybryant i am 5 days post op and feel the same way! Ugh! I know it gets better but it does suck! My husband is almost 3 weeks out and is feeling great......there is hope! Lol

[Rogofulm 2,440]

Yeah... that's the way it is. But a week from now you'll feel much better!

[WendieBryant 11]

Oh I'm so glad to hear that, I hate the pain the comes with swallowing

[Tauruslady5 154]

Breathe and take one day at a time.

Pain when swallowing? Does it feel like glass? Does your tongue have a white tinge to it? If so, it is Thrush. I ended up with that. Hurt when I swallowed. Then I realized my tongue looked not normal. Two weeks of antibiotics and all better.

Get past the next few weeks, and you will be awesome.

[WendieBryant 11]

No its down deeper, it's a spasming sensation

[snowkitten 371]

Wendiebryant.... its Esophageal spasms, usually goes away with time

[WendieBryant 11]

Usually??

[snowkitten 371]

Well I unfortunately have kept it. I can get really bad attacks that feel like contractions.but don't worry, it's rare. If it lasts for more than a month id tell ur surgeon tho.

[WendieBryant 11]

:-( thank you

I'm also 6 days out and today was the first day that i didn't feel like total crap. It will get better.

I also am having these problems and im a week out. It doesn't really happen so much with liquids as just foods and yes im eating puréed foods in very small bites. I find that if I take a deep breath as its happening it seems to stop it. Perhaps you could try that? Good luck and Id definitely mention it to your surgeon at your post op.

Small bites, take your time and when it starts hurting it may be that your full
