Does it hurt when you drink liquids or am I just odd? I am 4 weeks out today. I am on soft foods and they don't hurt so far I have had no problems with food but liquids (water, herb tea's, crystal light) ouch. Any ideas or anyone else have this problem?

It only hurts if I drink too fast. I used to be a gulper and it's been hard to change.
Good luck. I hope you figure it out soon! We have to drink so much...

I don't have this problem..but I have heard that temperature can be the culprit as well. Try changing the temp and see if that helps.

14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey. I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once. I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

It only hurts to drink when you gulp your water. You should only take sips at a time. If you do this constantly you shouldn't feel thirsty. Waiting to feel thirsty makes your gulp water because you need it right away. You should also try changing the temperature of your water to either really cold or hot like a tea and see if this makes a differance.

I have the same problem. I can only handle room temp liquids very slowly sipped. Stinks, huh?
