Having trouble drinking Water is a common issue. I had it too, but it's much better now. It kind of feels like it's getting stuck and hurts a bit. It may help to take smaller sips. Another thing that really helped me was mixing water and apple juice half and half. That seems much easier going down. I also found taking a deep breath when I got that 'stuck' feeling helps a lot.

It will get better every day! Be patient and kind to yourself. All the best to you!

Well for one thing we can't take big bites and big drinks like we use to.. Have to take sips rather than gulps

Are you drinking cold Water? I found that I tolerate room temperature water much better than iced or refrigerated water.

Hi there. I think this is a common issue and lasts for a few weeks post-op. I had the same problem and someone online suggested the following- exhale deeply and then swallow the water/ liquid slowly... it actually helped me. Try it.
