Question about full feeling
Hi. Surgery yesterday. Passed swallow test-but RAD said stomach looked very swollen. I'm sipping on 1oz medicine cups. With each sip, I feel some back up and feel like I need to burp. And I just puked after slowly drinking about 5 ounces.
Is this just part of the lurking school?

I had the same thing happen to me I also had a lot of swelling it took me a little over a week to feel better about drinking and I know it feels like you will never be able to drink again but you will. This lasted over a week for me and the burping last for over a month. I personally struggled with fluid intake for a few months but it got way better after a week
Drink even slower than you think is possible. The puking is very likely because you overfilled your sleeve. You should be doing 1 oz every 10 minutes or so... If that doesn't work, try 15 minutes, and so forth. Your sleeve IS very swollen - the majority of it was just cut off for crying out loud ;)
Take it slow. This isn't fullness, this is pushing too hard. You won't feel true fullness until you're on dense solids.
Take care of yourself!!
