Patrick,

How are you doing/feeling?

Doing pretty good, little sore and tender..

One of the incision sites is on a fat roll that has shrinked to half it's size and folded inwards a bit, and that one is a little tender right now...

All of you are inspiring....my surgery is coming up on 7/17 at 9:30am. Super excited along with the jitters...not the kind where you want to back out just the kind from the unknown.

Just wondering how I will handle the pain...guess i will find out soon enough.

Ready to get back into my life as the person I always knew was hiding under here.

I was having this a lot especially yesterday...wife was gone and it was actually kinda scaring me thought I was having either a heart attack or embolism... that's when I decided I really need to get a handle on my gas... so I can tell if it is serious.... made my wife go get gasx strips and took 2 every 4 hours.

I also still have tightness when breathing... but I'm pretty sure that's still gas too. But it is scary and I don't Know how one could differentiate the gas from something serious...after my breast area it went left of my sternum where my heart is... I got up and walked a bit and it moved so I figured it was gas.

Well, the only thing left tonight is to pack a few small things and take a shower. Just a little over 12 hours before my 7:30 surgery. I'll be there at 5:30 and they can start any time after that. I'll see the rest of you on the Loser's Bench!

Yes!!!!! I was sleeved July 2 as well. Saturday it felt like something was getting stuck in my esophagus. yesterday the discomfort had moved a little lower and today about the same. I noticed I could drink more than a teeny tiny sip yesterday and today seems about the same. It really helped me to just get up and move around to ease the discomfort. tried some very soupy grits this morning, maybe 1&1/2 tbsp and experiencing a small amt of discomfort. so tired of broth. for the most part, I had very little of the post op gas pain. I guess because I just walked and walked and walked and walked. So far, doing FABULOUS! Better than I expected.

      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.
