Post op Day 2

I keep getting an odd sensation of rolling like there is a knot in my right mid chest area, what is it? and is this normal? I also noticed it if I take a normal gulp instated of a sip of protein shake.

It is probably related to the anesthesia that is still in your body and the painkillers you're taking. I had a hard time taking deep breaths for a couple days, but it passed. Definitely sip sip sip. It took me a while to get used to it. Every once in a while, I still gulp, but it doesn't hurt. Discomfort yes, Pain no.

I'm 10 days out now. The first week was HELL. But I've started going to full liquids and am feeling much stronger. Next stop: mushies! :)

Thanks and goodluck to you!

It may be the gas they used during your operation. Walking frequently is supposed to help disperse the gas. Gas-x may also help.

I hope your right
