Hi all,

I was sleeved 24/6/11, I have been okay suffering alot of acid reflux but its dealable. But i have been having some weird pain just under my boobs right in the middle it happens like a ball of something is trying to escape, VERY DIFFERENT TO GAS PAIN THOUGH! It hurts it is hard to explain though. It happens almost all day but in small parts.

Sorry im not very clear, Some advice if any one knows what this means.'

It's possible you have an irritation in your esophagus from all the reflux. I would make an appt with you surgeon.

Mine got pretty bad so they did an endoscopy and discovered I had developed an ulcer from the reflux. If that's what it is, it's easily treatable.

In the meantime, it's good idea to journal your food intake in case you can find a pattern of it happening more when you eat certain foods.

I was just thinking what you described was what I felt when I had to have my gallbladder out (before being sleeved). Do you still have your gallbladder?

      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.
