Eileen, Congradulations on making it to the other side! I had the same problem right after surgery ( and still screw up occasionally) with gulping. I have discovered two things that help. For several weeks post op, I used a straw all the time, and that really helped. Now I do better still if I drink with a straw or out of a bottle of water. If I use a glass. I gulp.. almost all the time. And I agree.. IT HURTS! You would think I would learn! Good luck.. the first 2-3 weeks are the worst.. and it will just begin to get better and better after that! Peace and God Bless Tami
