Your stomach is probably making "gurgling" sounds, I would guess? "Sounds" is a little amiguous, but if it's a gurgling sound it's normal. Mine gurgled close to non-stop post-op, and gradually tapered down, and now only does it when I'm stuck. I can remember coming back to work after my surgery and it being so loud the people across from me could hear.

Not sure why you would feel a ball in your neck and chest. Where in your neck? The back? Side?

Yes, you are probably experiencing the gas pains and nausea. They will pass. I had my surgery on the 7th and thought I was going to die. But it's the 14th and I feel great today!

Try something like hot tea, that helped me a lot. It sounds like gas. Also, make sure you sip and not gulp, that too may help and walk.

      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.
