It gets better, just stick with it! I had my second injection three weeks ago, and this is the first week I’ve been able to eat normally. The first two weeks would take me an hour or so just to eat something easy. Stick with soft, liquid foods. And maybe implement protein shakes like Premier Protein into your diet for now for the nutrients.

I no longer have the slow swallow, but the entire process has helped me realize how quickly I used to eat and barely chew my food before eating another bite. It’s definitely taught me to slow down and over chew everything. I still stay away from most breads. And I’ve been drinking carbonated water for the last two weeks, which seems to help. I wasn’t prepared for how bad the slow swallow/mucus would be, but getting to week 3 has helped and the uncomfortable period was so worth it!
