Pressure going up from the stomach to my esophagus with pain at the end.

[Dayita 9]

Hi guys did any one of you experienced this before? Im on my 7th day post op and right after i drink something i feel like burping or if not i feel a painful pressure going up and stopping in the middle of my chest, it goes away and comes back. Its this normal or is there something wrong. Im so scared its something wrong!!

Walk and small sips. Try warm or hot liquids and see if better.

Thank you!! Its working a lot better, in drinking tiny zips of broth 1 oz every 15 min i feel less discomfort drinking it like this, do you know if this means i will have to drink like this for the rest of my life?

I doubt it. It's the gas, swelling and everything that goes along with surgery. I felt that way for about 4 days but much better now and can even take normal sips. It may take a while but just keep pushing fluids.

I agree with the gas diagnosis. It's hard, isn't it? When I thought I was taking small sips I wasn't!

Mine seems to do that after I eat. I'm on the purée stage

Sounds very familiar.

It'll pass with time. Drink/eat slowly and listen to your body

My dr starts at 3 weeks

When they say soft food does it means it could have a little texture?, like lets say can i liquifies a little bit of carrots and celery to a beef broth just to get more nutrients?

I'm 3 days out and having that same problem! It got a little better when I started spreading 1oz over 15min. I can't do any cold liquids at all yet. Makes it worse.
