Best decision of my life!

@@KellyJ1121 I had my surgery Thursday, April 9th. I'm feeling a little better but still having a good bit of trapped gas. How long does this take to work itself out? Also, has anyone had a problem with sharp pains across their chest when they take a drink?

Congrats and best of luck on your new journey!

When I eat or drink to fast I get the sharp pains in my chest. It goes away pretty quick though.

I had that. It was a constriction of my esophagus and it happened for the first couple of weeks post-op until the swelling went down.

I feel the same. I had my sleeve surgery on March 10th. Lost 34 lbs and feel absolutely great. My family dr told me that the sleeve surgery will be the best thing I would do for myself. It's true!!

      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?

      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.
