Ok here it is...and I have already left a message for my doc too....

still on liquids. last night...2am...bolt upright awake with a SEVERE pain in my stomach. Like, seriously it felt like someone was grabbing the inside of my stomach sleeve and ripping it out. At the same time , I felt burning in my chest area, and tasted what I thought was blood...felt an intense urge to start coughing, but stomach pain was ripping me apart so I was trying to get to toilet.

I sat in front of the toilet thinking I was going to vomit, but the pain was so bad, I got all sweaty and tingly, and felt like the room was spinning, felt like I was gonna pass out! I felt like I couldn't catch my breath for the burning in my chest and tried to cough just a little, which burned like terrible and coughed up what looked and tasted like stomach bile.

I was almost crying, my husband was about to call 911... I kept saying "somethings wrong, somethings wrong" I seriously thought I was gonna die. Then, as quickly as it came on, the pain subsidded. However....I still had the burning in my chest, and now this morning, it still feels tight in my chest and rattly ...

ok, just heard from the doc, they want me to go have a chest xray..

sigh..... nothing can ever go smoothly for me.

Are you on an acid blocker? It sounds like you were having a terrible time with acid.

I am anxious to hear what the dr,. said.

I forgot to take my PPI on Monday and I had an acid attack. It felt like burning in my chest. I hope that is the cause. I am so sorry you are going through this. Let us know what the doctor says. Sending healing wishes your way!

Thank you all...well they did an Ekg, Chest CT, bloodwork...all came back ok. Which bothers me...because it was very very real and very very painful! My self-diagnosis maybe a severe gas pain? then when I sat up I refluxed acid and it burned my chest and throat.... not sure where the blood taste was comeing from though...

Oh well..I'm ok. guess that's all that matters. though I felt like a dummy at the ER.

Hi kindra,

Did you go to the Dr's??? What did they say??

I have been waking up in the middle of the night with burning in my throat from well I think that its that stong yucky yellow bile stuff from my stomach and was wondering if it is the same as what you are getting?

Please let me know

Lisa

Sounds a lot like when I used to wake up choking and unable to breathe from aspirating stomach acid. Yay, reflux! Thank God that's been totally gone since surgery. NOT fun.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
