Is any one else having a hard time swallowing liquids? It very painful.

I had the same thing for a few days post-op. This could be caused by the irritation that being intubated causes. During the surgery, you are intubated for oxygen delivery and for an endoscopy if the surgeon does that as well. Mine did. I should go away. I know I was hoarse for several days.

I am one week out. I have pain kind of like a spasm if I take to big of a drink or drink too fast. I am trying to take small sips and the pain is happening less often. I also have to make sure nothing is too thick. I’m using almond milk in my shakes. It seems to help. I hope you feel better.

I had that for the last week!! Is the pain in the middle of your chest a few seconds after you swallow?

If so I literally use a measuring spoon to drink. I use the half teaspoon as a scoop to spoon my drinks! It’s sounds so silly ... but at least I don’t hurt. Smh.

I had to go in this week for a few bags of IV fluids because I wasn’t getting enough fluids. I’m getting more Fluid with the measuring spoon now because it’s not hurting swallowing.... I guess whatever works ??‍♀️
