They put the breathing tube down your throat after you are asleep. Then take it out before you wake up. My throat was only a little sore the next couple days.

I didn't feel it. You are totally out when it goes in and comes out. The sore throat I had was nothing! I didn't even notice it except when I would yawn.

I didn't even know they had put one in at all. Didn't feel a thing and no sore throat for me. Just dry mouth. Lots of ice chips because you can't have Water until the next day.

Absolutely nothing to worry about. You won't feel a thing. It's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of a tube going down your throat. Just like it's perfectly understandable to be frightened by the idea of surgery. But it's also perfectly understandable that you won't feel a thing. Lol. You're gonna love the new you!!

If you are worried .... Ask the questions of your surgical team, I had morbid fear of dying and was v real. Yes you can die from op but look at research - all I know is I am so pleased I did mine

      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.
