I have ACDF scheduled and am aware swallowing can be initially challenging. Would you be willing to share your experiences?

Did you start with water?

Did you have to use “ liquid food”? ( protein shakes, puréed soup?)

How long until it wasn’t an issue?

Did you have tricks to make it easier?

I have an acquaintance who is struggling years later, so of course I imagine the worst!

Thanks!
