Reply To: 2 week liquid diet after surgery

Hi Si

It can be very normal with the thicker fluids as they slide down more slowly and can pause at the stomach opening where the swelling is causing the discomfort. I would say thin down the consistency for now till the swelling settles. It is normally around the 2 week mark when you can start to thicken things up. But just listen to your body on this one as it can be very much an individual assessment

Suck some ice to help speed the process

If you have any ongoing concerns speak with your provider xx
