I was sleeved on 1/21 and I've had a lump in my throat ever since. The first few days I just assumed that it was due to all the tubes that went down my throat and nose. I'm 3 days out and the lump is still there. It is there even when I swallow without food or Water in my mouth. Is this normal? I had a haital hernia repair at the same time, if that makes a difference.

Yes, it does make a difference...I too had a hiatal hernia repair & they told me I might feel some tightness for awhile. I did not, but I was expecting to. If it concerns you call your doc, that's what they are there for! Good luck!

I had a hiatal hernia too.. I didnt have a lump or tightness.. but I could not take a deep breath.. and that scared the pants off of me.. I got panicked when I returned to my room after surgery..and had to get up out of bed and sit in the chair.. I was afraid of not being able to breath.. and for like a week at home.. I couldnt take a deep breath.. it eventually went away..and Im fine now.. they said it was because of the hernia and where it was located. but do check with your doctor.. thats why he is there for us. best of luck to you.

      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.
