hopeful2 be slim

Hi Meena, My band didnt work for me. I had it since march 2011.lost only 13lbs in the first 15 days.Now I got the sleeve done on 24th jan 2014.the band was removed at the same time.It went off well. I am recovering fast.Dont worry you will be fine.

it sure is depressing when you dont loose.I lost 13 lbs in the first 2 weeks. earlier with lap band i had lost 13 lbs. Now i do hope it continues!! all the best to you Teachamy!!

Hi Miller girl!! welcome! all the best for your surgery. Mine was great without any complications.

how do I put this ticker? can anyone guide me?

my doc said We loose max weight in the first month,less in second and third there is a stall. have you all experienced this?

My band Didnt work for me. Maybe I was eating too much and not walking...not enough Water also. I am glad it is out.

how do you add the weight loss ticker?

dont think of food....your stomach is healing .so take it easy for atleast a month.I am on liquids for 15days. then semi,then mussies.slow is better.

yes it was laproscopic. but there were stitches.I also had a drain. total 5.6 cuts

hi. I am also band to sleeve..no problems so far...only a little swelling on stomach...I travelled for my followup..on the 12th day...other wise i am ok..thank God.

I had to go for my follow up to remove stitches.where in Australia are you? My daughter is in Melbourne.

Hi sumad..well done...this is a gr8 place to share.

hi! welcome! I was sleeved 12days ago. Doing fairly well.I do feel weak on some days. But I am recovering quite fast.

i am from India.

I had lap band in feb 2011. lost only 6kg. now i have removed it and had the sleeve.on 24th jan 2014. already lost 6,5kg .

I travelled for my doc's appointment on the 12 th day. (5+5) 10 hrs travelling on same day. I can see some swelling on my stomach.and slight pain. Doc said take combiflam liquid and take rest.

my energy levels are good. I do feel weak sometimes. But I want to know if we should lie down for stomach to heal.is sitting for long putting pressure?I started office for 1 hr from day 7. Its not strenuous...mainly for signs.and decisions as I am in charge of a school.

is it necessary to lie down and rest during the day? is sitting for long periods bad? I am 12 days post op.

Somehow milk and tea are not suiting me. I get a slimy feeling for a long time after having tea...

thanks a lot. going to the doc for my follow up. have lost 11lbs in 10 days...I can see the difference.

today is my 10th day.... I do feel weak off and on...how much Fluid have you all had. I am having 3.5 lts approx. I had met a girl who said she was having 5 lts...he lost 30 kg in 3 months....she was not very obese. how can I increase my liquid intake. I have coconut Water,dal water, thin Soups through out the day. The nut has not told me to have any Protein shakes as yet.

thanks. Now I too will have a small cup.In India also we have many cups of tea throughout the day.

I am 10 days post op..i feel like having tea...but cant....I wonder why no tea.

when I had my lap band I had told all that is was a surgery for my ulcer. In India people will just not understand as its a new concept. THis time for my sleeve I said I an going away for 1 week. now I am saying I have an ulcer.cant eat or drink.

I am ok now. took combiflam liquid and rested for few hrs.
