Hey everyone! I am 6 days post op today. I am doing really good with eating jello and Popsicles, but for some reason it hurts to drink liquids. After a few drinks which I do space out I feel as though there is a huge gas bubble that is caught in my throat. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned? I eat a lot of Popsicles and this doesn't seem to bother me. But not sure if this is normal. Thanks for the help!!!!

I am almost 4wks post op' date=' and I have the same problem with fluids. I have to drink Water when its ice cold and with a squeeze of lemon/lime. I can also tolerate hot tea...anything luke warm does not sit well with me at all.[/quote']

Funny how we can all be so different. I prefer lukewarm-to-warm liquids over cold. You know when you leave your water bottle in the car on a summer day and it gets really, really warm? Yup! THAT'S how I like it! Lol

I used to prefer my water very luke warm to prior to surgery..

It is funny the colder the better for me. I also used a shot glass for the first month and still a smaller size cups and glasses. Just seem to get more fluids in that way.

I know, it's weird. It used to gross me out. But I can drink more if it's warm and for some reason it tastes better to me.
