Really decent. Just got this horrible feeling in my chest/upper stomach area. Every time I take a drink. Guess it's still gas Because I comes and goes.. So that's what I think it is?

I also had surgery the 24th and came home the 25th. I have that feeling in my upper stomach/. Chest area, kind of "fullness". Could be gas, I just figured its from the swelling and trying to get liquids in.

Yes, I'm afraid of everything, lol. I had a pill I needed to resume taking after surgery and even though my dr said I'd be fine, I was scared to death. I finally took it and was fine. My nurse told me I could take Tylenol capsules, but when I did, I still cut them in half first just to make sure, lol.

I'm managing to get my liquids and Proteins in so far, although I feel like its a full time job. Still swollen and look 8 months pregnant, but the scale showed a 3 lb loss today, so hopefully the extra Fluid is leaving.

I was sleeved on Wednesday oct 23 .. Had that annoying upper gas. I highly recommend gas x strips they dissolve on ur tongue and have worked wonders for me. I can pretty much get down any liquid all kinds of Soups and once in a while a hunger pain even.. Might be a thirsty pain I don't even know still confused lol. I haven't been on the scale since surgery but already noticing a difference in just my face alone.

      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.
