Thought I was dying!!!

The word pain doesn't describe it.  Without thinking, I took a regular drink of my protein drink.  Not a sip....a drink!  OMG. The pain started immediately.  I'm only 8 days post op.  The pain continued for what seemed like hours.  I called my doc and all is well now.  But now I have a new respect for sipping!!!

Yep, only takes once, huh?!!

Yep - it's a pain you remember well.  Even this far out I don't ever do that.

Hope you're feeling better. 

When I got my doctor on the phone, I was in tears.  She probably thought I was having a meltdown.  All I could think was that I had really screwed things up.  Pain has finally eased up but I am paying more attention.  I might try to "eat" something later tonight but for now I'm SKEERED!

Being scared like that is the worst part - I told my husband it felt like a heart attack - and you were right to call - with anything that hurts or feels strange it's better to be safe than sorry.

Sip sip sip.   From another former chugger. 

u know after years of chugging down water and just taking a gulp
its hard to remember to take a tiny lil sip, especially  when its hot outside. i guess we just live and learn. try not to ever forget the sip thing. man, i can see y it happened tho. i see where W.L.S. teaches lots of lessons on how to not only eat but drink as wel.
