Hi all,

Well, it's been a while! It is currently Sunday night and I am therefore heading up to my 3 week date (Tuesday afternoon).
I have no had any pain at all in my abdomen for about a week. Prior to that, I was experiencing general pain on my right hand side when I stood up from laying down or picked up anything heavy. It was not bad enough pain to even take a Panadol (Advil) and as such was entirely manageable.
My scars (5 of them) are healing well, they have scabbed over and I am using BioOil on them morning and night after I shower. I imagine they will be largely invisible in a few months.
I have largely been on liquids/soups/protein shakes diet wise. I have had a few nights were friends have been over + one birthday where I have had incredibly small quantities of 'normal' food. This has included a couple of slices of salami or cheese, and on another occasion a bite of pizza etc. Both times this has occurred I have felt full incredibly quickly and have felt a strong rise of air in my throat....it was not burping, merely air rising and bubbling up - sometimes this descended into hiccups. Is this normal?
In terms of weight, I have lost about 7.8kg (about 17 pounds)...so I am not unhappy at all with that. I hope that by next week (the 4 week anniversary) I will have lost 10kg (22 pounds).
Did anyone else have the air in their throat? Does it get better???

I was sleeved on 9/20 and I have been very cautious about not drinking too fast so that wouldn't be uncomfortable. Today I have been taking larger drinks without discomfort, so I was wondering if I am not feeling the full sensation. Right now, I'm still having gas pains and incision pain, and a lot of gas movement/sounds so maybe I can't get a good idea of what it feels like because of everything else going on? Thoughts? Similar experiences? Thanks!
