Oh, perhaps you need to recline in a chair or prop up with pillows in bed to avoid this choking

I sleep on a wedge pillow. It helps a lot. Also, try not to drink too close to bedtime, that exacerbates the problem. Hope your recovery is going well, otherwise!

I had surgery on 10 December I’ve had trouble getting enough liquids down when I’m sleeping at night things come back up and it chokes me through the night has anyone experienced that

Sounds like you might want to talk to your dr about reflux. Did you have hustle hernia repair with your sleeve?

It might help to add more pillows to make your head lie higher than the rest of the body. It will prevent choking because the liquid will not get from your stomach to your throat. In this case, I would recommend using big pillows made of memory foam like this amazon body pillow. Pillows like this one provide the best conditions for sleeping and are designed for pain-free nights. I have one like this, and I love it, especially because I am rather long, and this long pillow supports every part of my body. I think that anyone would like a pillow like this.

      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.
