spitting up mucous
I has this problem a lot at first both the nausea and the slime, ugh. I just really had to ease into fluids and the other stages. My doc prescribed a anti nausea med for me that helped a lot as well. I still tend to slime really easily some days and I four months out but it's getting better bit by bit.

2 days post op with blockage
At two days I could only wet my mouth, not really swallow and I had to walk around while I did that. That lasted to about day four and then I could only do one tiny sip at a time also only while standing upright. It takes time.

Question on taking pills
I take Cymbalta. I cut my dose down before surgery. My surgery was on a Monday and I took it after my last leak test on Wednesday. It was a little uncomfortable but I knew the withdrawal would be worse. I'm almost five weeks out and have been able to take it no problem.
