I have a Question

I'm 5 days post Op and wondering can liquids get stuck. I've felt stuck twice in 3 days. Didn't puke or anything. I'm on all liquids so I was confused how could liquids get stuck.

You probably just have a lot of swelling. Hope you feel better. Maybe drink small sips. My surgeon said drink like you are sipping hot tea.

Think of a Funnel....you cannot pour Water into the wide opening too fast, have to let it pass through the narrow passage out the bottom....put food in there and the water is not going anywhere (but back up)

Post-op swelling can make that passage narrow, so you have to take it easy....but it will go away...

Later, after a few fills, it may return depending on how much restriction you're going to want.

I cannot drink liquids very fast, and I definitely cannot drink while eating, and sometimes up to 1/2hr afterwards.

Try using a tiny medicine cup to sip from. More then likely you have internal swelling as indicated by @briefs199. Eating some ice pops will also help you get your fluids in and even hopefully help to calm some of the internal swelling going on.

Take it slow...you just had major surgery give yourself some time heal :)

Are you possibly gassy? Do you burp as you down liquid? Try gasX strips after24 hours you should feel

better, plus do try to drink 2-3 oz of fluid wait 15 min and drink more
