10 Days Post-Op Questions



Recommended Posts

I notice if I drink more than three swallows of my Protein Shake I get a discomfort as it goes down. It a sensation that feels like gas build up and trying to get through is the best way to describe it. Has anyone else had this feeling and or is it normal and passes with continued healing.

Thank you

Is it like a tightness across your chest? That if you thump your chest it may pass & let whatever is stuck get through? If it is this is your restriction. It’s likely kicked in because you’re eating or sipping too quickly or you’ve consumed enough. I still have to leave a couple of minutes between bites of food or sips of liquids or I’ll feel my restriction. And I can only now have two swallows of a liquid at a time.

Maybe right - it happens when I have two or three Soup spoonful's then I wait 20 minutes. Maybe I need to spread it out further. Thanks for your response:)

Completely normal and it will get easier. Try taking smaller sips and spacing it out more.
