Been there and done that also, I was very nervous on surgery day, woke up at 9 am in recovery and walked to my private room 1 hour later. I must be the luckiest man alive as I have had zero problems with anything. (felt like i've done 50 sit ups)
I think we all must over-research Dr Google and build up a crescendo of 'what ifs' .........but alas some a luckier than others.
Not once and I'm 8 days post op. I think if you eat too fast it will happen, just take the eating really slow and savour the food. The temptation to bog in and eat fast is there but when you feel that full discomfort just have a rest and wait for the food/puree/drink to settle down. Cheers.
