I was done on the 24th, today is the first day that the bubbles don't hurt when I drink. Now it's only when I take too many sips. Hold on, youre almost there.

The pain in your chest is esophageal contraction or spasms. I had them VERY bad with every single teeny tiny sip for about the first 2 weeks post-op. They should go away once your internal swelling goes down and you are healed up.

I found that marching in place while sipping helped a little. It's very important for you to get your Water in, so you just kind of have to put up with the pain.

I found taking a deep breath when I took a sip really helped me.

Just over 2 weeks post op. For me drinking improved each day. But I felt like you right after surgery. Tiny sips - hang in there. It may not seem like much but every sip counts!!!

Yes!! Mine still does. I had mine done on the 24th. Try patting your chest (burping yourself) it will help. A few taps and it will let up. Let me know uf that helps.
