3 days post

Do you feel that choking sensation after you drink water/protein? I must have had some terrible swelling the first few days because everything felt like it gave me heartburn and would sit at the top of my stomach. It felt like the entrance to my stomach was swollen shut and didn't want to let anything through and caused a lot of discomfort. The good news is that yes, it will pass, but it just sucks while you're going through it. I tried to keep my sips small and evenly paced out as best as I could to help alleviate the discomfort.

Yes this is exactly what I'm experiencing can't wait until this pass

I am 3 days post open as well and I have no appetite wither which is great by the way. Water, Jello, and sugar free Popsicles have been my friend so far, broth not so much. I just don't like the smell or taste. No real discomfort except my stomach rumbling with gas that doesn't want to seem to come out the back side! Lol.... I woke up this morning and noticed something blood on my shirt from my large incision so I'm going in to see my Dr this afternoon. Other than that I feel better each day
