I alo happen to be an RN so I am aware of pain and medical research prior to having this procedure. Holly Cow it did me no good. I now haven't ate anything in 6 days. Omly water. I tried different temps and different textures but they all lead to severe pain with just a few spoonfuls being swallowed. I am in so much pain. We have changed my pain regime but I am on some heavy hitting stuff. I am currently on Dilaudid 24mg a day. I tried Roxicet but that was not good enough. It left me in tears. As a nurse I have never seen paoin that didn't get fully treated. But for this it is expected! So any advice about the whole no food thing?
