Grateful Heart - I sometimes forget that I was sleeved and just drink naturally (chug).. and then mid swallow realize.. OMG.. what am I doing??? lol I know that feeling you are talking of.

I also get it sometimes when I eat and forget to CHEW enough. I get a lot of flem in my throat and that makes it worse... A quick trip to the bathroom relieves the pain. :thumbup: lol There is simply too much air in a small area. I feel like a baby that needs to be burped.. and if its not a careful burp.. I'm losing it like a baby would. lol

KK - I was self pay and went to Mexico. I didn't have 10+ grand for my procedure so when I decided on my VSG, self paying was not an option. After I researched... I found an amazing doctor and got my sleeve for $5200 which was more doable. $5200 is WAY different than 10k, right? ;) After some debate with my husband... lol... I went to Mexico. My doctor was Dr. Almanza and he has great reviews on here. There is not ONE thing that worried me or that I disliked while I was there. My biggest concern while finding a doctor wasn't whether he was in a big fancy hospital... it was how many good reviews I could find from his patients... and I found the most positive reviews for Dr. Almanza. It was great, safe, and I got my sleeve for only $5200. Just an option you have.

I know how this feels because I can't seem to stop doing it. I am constantly forgetting and than I have this bubble that just sits at the top of my throat. It is very uncomfortable. I don't know why my brain can't get the hint everytime I take a pill. It's very frustrating

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
