I am 5 days post op and I am having a hard time with drinking water. Everytime I sip I get a hard ball feeling in my chest. I know this will past just wondering about others experience who are only a few days out.

Are you taking to big of a sip? When I do, I can sure feel it.

Take smaller sips! I know it's a "pain", excuse the pun but, you have to. It will get better day by day!!!

I get that same feeling when I take too big a sip of water at one time. Like the others said, try taking even smaller sips and see if that helps. It will get better!

Thanks all, that's the thing I take baby sips that's why it takes so long to drink a bottle. I know it will get better was just wondering if others feel the same way, I see dr tomorrow so i'm making my list of questions now. Thanks everyone

Try drinking water at a different temperature. some people do better with cooler water and some do better with room temperature water.

I know I found I can drink better the warm water than one rught out refrigerator.

Cooler water works for me!
