Had surgery Tuesday, 12/15. Some stomach soreness and pain, but even worse is my mouth and throat. Tuesday I could barely swallow. My husband says it looks like someone punched me in the mouth. Hard sores on both sides of my upper lip. Has made transitioning to water (instead of ice chips) and broth difficult because it's hard to swallow. Assume it will get better in a day or two, but having difficulties getting in my 64oz today. Any suggestions?

Keep sucking on ice chips and popsicles so you don't get dehydrated.

My throat has been bothering me since surgery also, including the roof of my mouth. I just kinda put it off as a healing process from having a tube shoved down my throat. It's very aggravating and I wish it would just stop already. I may try and gargle with warm salt water and see if that helps any.
