I run a humidifier 24/7 it helps a lot. The gagging is think is my body getting used to not having a Uvula and the presence of stitches all over my throat. I lost about 10 pounds from eating soft diet and loss of appetite. The appetite is coming back slowly. Remember to drink lots of fluids. I found that warm fluids were easier to swallow after the first few days. Try eating cream of wheat cereal, rice pudding, chicken noodle soup, even eat a piece of toast (remive the crust)with a lot of butter. It seems to help the stomach to have some thing solid in the stomach. Oh yeah, your sinuses are always draining and you are probably getting small amounts of blood in your stomach, liquid pepto bismol helps as does zantac for acid. This is not doctor's advise, just personal experience. Good luck. Off to work talk to you later.
