Sorry to hear you are having spasms. I had spasms after my surgery and they ended after about the 9th day. My doctor told me I had a lot of swelling and that caused me to feel so bad and the spasms. Hope yours stops soon too.

What does it FEEL like when you're having a spasm? I've got a weird feeling in my throat and the other morning after I drank about a third of my milk it felt like my throat was closing up! The only difference was that it was ice cold. I'm now noticing a similar feeling, though not the extreme of the other morning, when I drink something really cold. I know I wasn't stuck, it'd been the first thing I'd had all morning. AND I don't have a fill yet, nothing to get stuck on!

Anyway, can you describe the FEELING for me? I do see my surgeon for a fill on Tuesday, so I'll talk to him about it then, but still want to hear your experiences. Thanks!

      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.
