6 days out and feel like total and complete crap

It gets better!

I am 3 years out and I FEEL and LOOK wonderful - best of my life. Hang in there.

I'm hanging lol, just very frustrated

@wendybryant i am 5 days post op and feel the same way! Ugh! I know it gets better but it does suck! My husband is almost 3 weeks out and is feeling great......there is hope! Lol

Yeah... that's the way it is. But a week from now you'll feel much better!

Oh I'm so glad to hear that, I hate the pain the comes with swallowing

Breathe and take one day at a time.

Pain when swallowing? Does it feel like glass? Does your tongue have a white tinge to it? If so, it is Thrush. I ended up with that. Hurt when I swallowed. Then I realized my tongue looked not normal. Two weeks of antibiotics and all better.

Get past the next few weeks, and you will be awesome.

No its down deeper, it's a spasming sensation

Wendiebryant.... its Esophageal spasms, usually goes away with time

Usually??

Well I unfortunately have kept it. I can get really bad attacks that feel like contractions.but don't worry, it's rare. If it lasts for more than a month id tell ur surgeon tho.

:-( thank you

I'm also 6 days out and today was the first day that i didn't feel like total crap. It will get better.

I also am having these problems and im a week out. It doesn't really happen so much with liquids as just foods and yes im eating puréed foods in very small bites. I find that if I take a deep breath as its happening it seems to stop it. Perhaps you could try that? Good luck and Id definitely mention it to your surgeon at your post op.

Small bites, take your time and when it starts hurting it may be that your full

I'm 5 days out with the same spasms it sucks
