Help. Chunky Throat? Not Tolerating Water...



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I just had surgery on Tues, June 26th. I am having the hardest time with tolerating Water.. or anything really. I can't get it down and when I do, my throat is on FIRE. It is killing me... then I have to stand up and stretch out to help the Water go down. I don't have many more options as I am still on the clear liquid diet. I am semi ok w/ chicken Soup broth and warm Decaf tea. G2, water, Crystal Light- they all burn. Jello seems good. Popsicles are a hit or miss. Meds are tough. Tomorrow I am to start 4oz oz od my Protein shake twice a day. I'm scared.

I am on 150mg of Axid, 2 times a day. Not sure if this is acid or what?

It just feels like I have chunks in my throat.

I love water and I'm dying to drink it. I just can't. It is making me miserable and I am afraid to dehydrate.

Any help or ideas would be great.

Thanks - Stefanie

At this point, drink anything you can get down and as often as you can get it down. If it has to be broth all day...do it. If it has to be a box of Popsicles a day...do it. Don't freak out right now. You are REALLY raw on the inside; burning can be expected. Just try to relax. Tension makes it harder to swallow. Trust me, I KNOW. Just hold on, it should ease up considerably in a few days. Best wishes and congrats (((hugs)))

I think maybe a throat infection as well. Take your pain meds round the clock and give your Dr a call.

I've heard of this happening before it may be swelling. It sounds like warm liquids sooth your throat. And a lot of those liquids have citrus acid in them that could be causing the burning. Your body is in the healing stage it will get better.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
