GradyCat 3,695 Posted February 21, 2022 Sounds pretty normal for just a week post-op. Remember, they had a tube down your throat during surgery. You're still healing. Eat slowly, allowing less air to formulate. Sip, sip, sip your Water all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
learn2cook 589 Posted February 21, 2022 That may be why some programs say no straws? The sore throat is normal like GradyCat said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizonaplane 1,613 Posted February 21, 2022 I don't think the sore throat is from the tube if you are already a week out; that usually resolves in a day or so. I think what's more likely is that you're taking sips/swallows that are too big or too frequent. I would SLOW DOWN and see if that helps. The burping/hiccupping happens to me when I eat too much or too fast, in addition to the throat pain, which did get better. Let us know how it goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
