Help! Problems drinking liquids.
I am 4 weeks post-op and am having difficultly drinking any kind of liquids. It doesn't matter if it is warm, cold or room temp. Every sip or swallow, I feel like my stomach is contracting, very uncomfortable. I have no problems swallowing food, just the liquids. I am having a hard time getting in my daily recommended liquids...I'm lucky to get 25-30 oz. down. I don't have any symptoms of dehydration, but I'm worried about it.
Does anyone have any suggestions or have you experienced this problem. I will call my surgeons office tomorrow to touch base with them, but in the meantime, I thought I'd check to see if anyone on here has experienced this.
Thanks for any feedback!

Sounds like spasms. Maybe call the doc for an anti spasmodic.
