How long until I feel well again?

[kimtakespics 1]

Hi,

I am 9 days post surgery.

I am in a funk and having a hard time getting out of it.

Every time I eat or drink anything I feel it going down my throat and then it feels like it sits in my upper abdomen for a long time..no pain, but its uncomfortable....how long will this last....I am getting some energy back and my incisions already feel 80% healed...

Anyone have any advice?

Yes, take tiny sips. You're probably taking too big of drinks. But the good news is, this will pass once the swelling goes down. I can take gulps now without that feeling (though not too many gulps in a row).

Hang in there, it gets a lot easier.

May want to eat a little less and walk around after eating. it will get better

Same advise here... eat/ drink slower and smaller and walk! Your incisions will have another painful go in about a week... and last a few days once the insides start healing. I'm 1 month out and just starting to feel about 75% back to norm. Fatigue has got me good right now

Eat sugar free ice pops! It will make you feel better quicker and help with the swelling. Counts as 3oz too. I still eat a few a day at 8 weeks out.

Three weeks, so hold on. At three weeks, things turn around mentally and physically. For real.

I found that walking after meals and some liquid in taking , really did settle my stomach in the event I drank too much. I will be 7 days out tomorrow.
