Anybody just wake up (from a sound sleep) gasping for air post surgery?

P.S. On a positive note, I lost 5lbs since my last fill 5 days ago. I think I'm in my sweet spot now :...yet still keeping an eye on these episodes :D

Now come on you know 5lbs in 5 days isnt indicating the sweetspot, its indicating a band thats a little too tight !

I know its not acid reflux...as no acid is in my mouth or throat. Is there a difference between acid reflux and reflux?

No difference.....it's the same. It can progress to GERD. Here is a link with some info.

Losing 5 pounds in 5 days is quite a bit. I say you need a slight unfill. You should be losing 1-2 avg per week. Are you eating?

Actually....after my .4cc of a fill increase from last fill (from 2.4 to 2.8), my nurse practioner instructed me to start tracking my food and writing in a spread sheet. In short...I've been doing that, excercizing a lot...and am quite surprised I'm not as hungry as before.

P.S. I definately don't want an increase fill in the future....but after only losing 20lbs in 5.75 months....this nice little 5lb loss is quite refreshing actually. This is loss is a combination of me doing things on my end....as well as the slight increase in my last fill. I litterally don't feel hungry anymore which is interesting.

I understand grabbing onto every lb loss when its been slow for you, just read all that are possibilities that 'could' happen and if u are happy with things the way they are then keep up the good work. Your band will probably loosen a tad anyways if u carry on losing weight as quick as what you are :) I would consider a trip to the doctors tho if u keep getting problems :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
