How does your tongue look? Do a Google search on Thrush. Does it look like that? How are your taste buds? I know you are probably on liquids, but have you noticed anything different?

I had a back surgery last month, was intubated and ended up with thrush. Throat and mouth were KILLING ME. Did a week of an anti-fungal prescription and was all good.

I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and they did the same thing to me. It hurt way worse than the surgical site. I couldn't even talk for days. I had to ask for pain medicine with hand signals. I think it lasted about a week, getting better every day. I know how much that hurts. Ask the doctor if there is some lidocaine spray or something they can spray in there to deaden the pain.

I was sleeved Tuesday and just came home today and my throat is sore too. I'm sure it is from the tube and dry mouth/throat.

Yes mine started hurting about 2 days after surgery. It went away about day 4.

The throat pain was intense for me those first few days too, especially while my mouth was also dry. It felt like sandpaper. The thing that helped the most and gave me a lot of relief was the sugar-free popsicles the hospital provided. Can't recommend it enough. Hope it feels better soon!

I had no throat pain at all just runny stools few days which worried me. Only 9 days out I feel normal apart from not needing loads of food to satisfy.

My throat hurt for about 6 days. Real sore fore the first 3 and then just a little bothersome.

My throat didn't hurt at all, but they warned it would, because of the breathing tube. From what I understand the pain is related to how sensitive you are and how easy/hard the tube went in.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
