I had mine the same day u did. My dr. Told me I would pain my chest after surgery an that would go away. But, the other pains I don't have. I suppose to start my soft this Friday.

I had a similar feeling. The doctor started me on softs earlier than most also, instead of eating much at the time, I only ate about a 1/4 of a cup at a time. Now I ate like every 2 hours, but it kept me from having pain. Depending on the thickness you may have to adjust it. When I ate apple sauce I could have a little more, but if I ate thick creamed potatos I ate less. Some times only 3 bites will hold you a long time.

you are still very swollen from surgery

so it is going to have to heal. i am surprised you are not on liquids only 4 or 5 days out. i and many others were on liquids 1 or 2 or more weeks on liquids. but that is why this forum is awesome because we have so many different doctors/ideas.

i would suggest sipping your liquids often and slowly.....and foods although i would advise you not too right now, you dr okay'd it, so make it as mushy as you can and go very slow....its hurts because

you are swollen, or eating too fast or too big of a big......you just need to go very slow.

all the best.

I agree to eat very slowly. try using a baby spoon to make sure you are taking small bites. It should take you 20 minutes to eat less then a cup of food
