Tightness & Pain in my chest
I had the same thing. I usually break the drinking rule and take a sip when I am finished with meal. It helps me burp and it seems to help tremendously. But only a sip! Hope it helps!

Fitness trackers vs Google Pixel 2/3
Hi Matt I have a pixel and it tracks well if you have it on you! I also have a fossil watch and a ticwatch s and they work like a charm! I am a huge Google Dan and they can do a lot with lots of other apps to connect data! Garmin is good but a water proof one is best!

Am I overdoing it?
I feel like you are drinking plenty of fluids and moving really helps the bowl movements. I would try more of that to get it going! I am on day 6:of my liquids and feel like it is going well boo issues but I am still taking the Tylenol. Thought had to finish it?

November 2018 Sleevers!?!?
I here you Lulu . I just had my surgery on the 7th and the pre op diet was awful! No I am on full liquids and I also realize the pain of my love of food for comfort. Believe me you will not be hungry but you will see food on TV or in person and think that would be awesome. Then realize liquid can taste just as great if done well! If you need help or encouragement? I am your guy! This journey is just stating and we can do it!
