I am on day 8 and am still having the chest pain. Drinking liquids is like swallowing razor blades at times. Sleeping is awful. When I get up in the morning the pain is so bad it’s hard to get up out of bed. My dr finally prescribed me the gi cocktail yesterday and that really seems to help. If you don’t have this try to get your dr to prescribe this

hi there,
What is the GI cocktail? I came home on nothing. No antibiotics, no pain medication, just children's liquid Tylenol. I can't say it's been fun 🙂 I'm just starting purees today ( Day 6 post-op) and it's hard to get anything down. It hurts so much. My portions are the size of a walnut! So if you had the name of that cocktail, I can call my surgeon's office and see if that would make sense for me. Hoping this gets better for both of us.
