question 6 days post op

Did anyone have gas right in the middle of their chest that they felt occasionally throughout the day? If I get to big of sip or if I drink to fast this also causes pain in the middle of my chest.

Yep! Def remember that pain. It subsided for me eventually.

you really need to take smaller sips and then swallow slowly to help with this for now. you will be able to drink faster later on but for now..Be kind to yourself and listen to your body! :)

Oh yes! And Gas X Strips saved the day! or should I say days!

Hi! I'm 5 days post op and yes, if I accidentally drink too much in one sip, I get gas and a weird feeling. I have to remind myself to sip slow and easy!!!

Good luck!!!

Yes that gas was bad thats the only pain I have gotten. It hurt the chest but it's going away.

Gas x strips that I bought are peppermint and oh my word it is hard to let that dissolve in my mouth instead of spitting it out. Lol
