@@s.thompson you may not have read this thread you just bumped up, but the original poster had complications and was regretting their surgery because things weren't working for them the way they are supposed to work.
You are just barely a week out. You are experiencing what many people go through the first days/weeks after surgery. (including the regret and feeling of "what the hell did I just do?" feelings)
Everything you're going through is in the range of normal - some are lucky enough to have zero issues right after, but most do experience discomfort, pain, pressure and difficulties swallowing. If the meds your doc gave you don't work, call them back the next day and get help. But it sounds like you're just really swollen and need to get the right dose of pain meds and get fluids in to feel better and get through the first few days of discomfort.
Try sipping warm/cold (I used broth and sugar-free popsciles alternately) and I had difficulties swallowing for days after before I figured out to use that method. You're likely in pain from the gas they used to inflate your abdomen too, and the only thing that works for that is to get up and walk so the gas gets absorbed and out of your system.
It absolutely will get better. Have faith that it will and just keep sipping fluids, walking and take your pain meds as often as allowed. If it doesn't get better really soon, call that doctor back and get them to help. Good luck!

A year ago today, my life changed... call it a second chance. I want to give a huge shout out to the wonderful People at A Lighter Me, for making this change possible... I am still about 15 pounds from my goal weight, but feel with a little extra effort on my part, those pounds will fade away, as well!!! I also want to wish a Happy Surgiversary to my surgery sisters and brothers, who share today as the day their lives were changed! And to all those, waiting to have surgery or having had surgery recently.... it is life changing!!! Enjoy the experience, take notes, take pictures and soon the metamorphosis will be complete!!! Happy March!!!
