I had my surgery 10-21 and they told me during surgery you have a breathing tube placed down your throat to breath when you are knocked out. Your throat could hurt for a while. They rant that gentle with you when you are put to sleep!

Yes being intubated during surgery can cause a sore throat. Mine lasted about four days with my hernia surgery.

It's not like a sore throat, it's lower like its my stomach.

Whenever I had something to drink that early out, I had horrific pain when I swallowed even just a teeny tiny trickle...........my stomach was spasming.........I was told to warm up my liquids.......and it made a difference......the spasms would happen even with room tempearture liquids.< /span>

I warmed up everything, even my crystal light...ask your doctor's office about the pain you're expereincing

be patient with your body.......your tummy is swollen and pissed off as hell :D

That being said, a week makes a huge difference.....Wishing you the best and an easy recovery.....welcome to the losers' bench!

I got sleeved on the 14th Ann's that was what was happening to me every time I swallowed I could deal it got down then it should hurt as it entered the new pouch.the only think I could think of its that they bruised that entrance muscle with the tube they use to gauge your new pouch. It went away in about a week. I hasty powered threw it in order ttyl get all my liquids down. Not sure weather that was the weight or wrong thing to do.

My dr gave me a steroid shotgun help bring the swelling down. I wasn't able to keep Water down due to the swelling.

Today feeling much better. I've been walking all over and passed my leak test! I've got diluted apple juice now!

      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!!
