  1. I'm glad you posted this because I'm in the same situation and I'm ready to just scream. I had surgery 3/08 and have only lost 15 pd since I have been going between 219 and 220 for about 5 days.
  2. I felt the same way I had surgery 03/08 and I think it's the pain that did it for me. I am slowly coming around but every time I get that pain in my stomach my regrets come back. I just kept asking myself why did I have to get surgery to be healthy why couldn't I just eat right on my own.
  3. I had little to no pain with the band being put in or removed. The sleeve knocked me off my butt. My surgeon said it's normal but I have the worst pain on the left side of my stomach.
  4. So far it's going good, the pain experience was defiantly different from the band.
  5. I had my lap band done in January 2008 it worked good until I got pregnant. After I had my son last April it slipped. My surgeon wouldnt do it all in one sugary so I had my band removed November 2011 and was sleeved March 8th. Good luck with your surgery.
  6. I had a hiatal hernia repair done too so maybe that has something to do with it.
  7. I wasn't given restrictions for protein I have only had three medicine cups of it but I'm going to stop until I verify with my surgeon on Monday. I really appreciate all the responses I am on a emotional roller coaster I hate pain. I have been through 3 csections a lap band put in and removed and this is the worst of all.
  8. It happens with both warm and cold drinks. @ Rambo no I haven't I home now and having the pain. When I was drinking diluted juice at the hospital I was fine. I'm home drinking water and protein shakes it hurts. How long does any pain last. Thanks gor the responses
  9. I was sleeved on 03/08 the pain I have makes me want cry. Every time I drink I get a pain is this normal.
  10. I'm scheduled for March 8th also.
