It hurts to drink and get my pills down even when they're smashed and powdered . I hardly have a desire to eat anything and it's hard getting the protein in . Anytime something goes down it hurts . It's like a gas bubble or something in my chest .

Focus on Water first. Little tiny sips. Use you pain meds and walk.

That's normal i was the same. They used gas to blow up your belly so they could see, or sux for like 3-4 days. Walking helps. It must stopped hurting to swallow my pills like yesterday, I'm almost 3 weeks out. I ended up in the hospital am extra day because i was retching when i tried to swallow anything. It sucked. It gets better. I hope sooner than later for you

I'm on a puréed diet day 2 so I am allowed to have puréed tuna scrambled eggs stuff like that. Everyone's surgeon is different in what they want you on .

That's basically all I've been doing they told me walk every two hours I walk every like 45 mins and in the middle of the night I wake up to walk and they let me take gas x strips . My mom went down this ten years ago and she said it will get better day by day
