I had the same as well as getting weaker everyday. I also had trouble breathing due to the fact that the Fluid from my stomach was flowing into my lungs. It does feel like acid reflux but it is actually the fluid from the stomach.

Ashely and Candice. That hard to tell since axis reflux is so present in a lot of the sleevers :(. On my follow up I complained about heartburn not helping with current ppi and he doubled the dose. What else should we look for in addition to the reflux. :(

If you are worried u have a leak u can request to have one of those upper GI swallow test from ur doctor. I had multiple cat scans on my stomach that did not always pick up the leak but the swallow test always did. I had the unfortunate opportunity of having 14 swallow tests.

Candice same here!!!!! By the time I ended up being admitted I couldn't walk across to the next room without being exhausted and out of breath!

In addition I started shaking for no reason and it got to the point I couldn't get much in and whatever I could came back up. No matter what I did or how much I slept I was always exhausted and couldn't get comfy. The day I got admitted I felt like I did when I had mono, I thought I was going to die or something

      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.
