Hi, Sometimes after the surgery talking can cause one feeling out of breath. That does improve when you start Protein Shakes. But if it persists speak to your doctor about it.

I talk for a living, and I just cant imagine always feeling so full and gasy after. I have never regretted anything so much as this surgery. I am a shell of my former self. Uhh.

It was just to lighten the mood :) but seriously. .. you are still very early out and the first few weeks are the hardest. We all experience all kinds of weird things early on. My guess is like most of the other things thiss too shall pass. If it's a major concern I would talk to your surgeon, that's what they're there for. When I was about where you are I had regrets too but be careful because you can really sabotage your success with regrets. Try to understand that these things will get better with time and healing. Good luck

      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.
