myjourneyagain

Thanks for the information! !

I have been in a 7 week stall. I'm exercising, eating protein, and drinking water. My physican's office suggest that I stop exercising because I'm not taking in enough calories. Have you experienced this and what do you suggest to get pass the stall.

Don't be nervous. I had absolutely no fear. I was so overwhelmed with faith and excitement! Went in strong and came out stronger! You can do it and you will be just fine!

@@Dibaby44 I spent 3 nights at the hospital. My doctor wanted to be very cautious since I had a revision.

I am definitely learning that this is true @@Tlmarsh and the others who have posted. I still do not have any appetite. I do not desire to eat or drink, but I am slowly drinking my protein and water daily. The sight, smell of food from my family doesn't bother me at all. I'm taking things slowly and enjoying the idea of what my new life is going to be. I did have to get on the scale, just to see what it said. Tomorrow will be one week post op and I am down 12lbs. I wish everyone continual success.

I'm yet holding on. I was very weak today although I was constantly walking. I'm going to stay one more night to be on safe side. Trying to get my liquids in but it's very hard. I'm at about 40oz for the whole day.

@@TLW I have my gas x strips. Will be up walking constantly. I ate very little broth and jello. I'm going to try to get my fluids down. Thanks for information.

I will start clear liquids today. SF jello, broth, SF Popsicles, water and I have no appetite at all.

@@freelee you got this!!

@@julias1119 the walking is definitely a tremendous help!

My doctor will come in the morning and probably add clear liquids. I just finished my 3rd walk. Back still hurting but very little pain from surgery still.

All went well for me. Getting ready to go on my 3rd walk. Only could have ice chips today.

Everything went great! Very little pain from surgery however my back is killing me from laying flat during surgery. I'm only on ice chips today.

I'm headed in to the hospital to have my band to bypass revision. I'm very excited! Ready for the new me!

@@Kari H. When did you have your surgery and how are things going? I'm scheduled for 7am in the morning! I'm very excited!

I had that fruit cake back in December for my birthday. Great alternative!

Congratulations! I'm having my band removed Monday for RNY! I'm very excited for this new opportunity!

@@Kasey85 which procedure did you have? Congratulations on your loss! !

I hope all went well today with your surgery. Please let us know whenever you get the strength.

What procedure did you have? I'm also a teacher and my revision from band to RNY is on next Monday 15th. Have you ever exercised throughout this process?

I initially started my journey in 2012 with getting the lapband and my name at the time was myjourney2012. Now almost 3 years later, I'm having my lapband removed for gastric bypass, hence this is my journey again.

Wish you the best tomorrow. Mine will be a week later on the 15th.

I'm currently on my liquid diet as well. I will be revision from band to RNY as well on June 15th. I basically set up a schedule of what I would have throughout the day at what time and so far on day 3, I'm not as hungry as yesterday. How did you make it through this your last day before surgery? For others interested, My schedule consists of a bottle of water as soon as I get up because I go to the gym. Then a propel afterwards. For breakfast a Premier Protein shake and another water. Snack time a yogurt with a little protein powder. Crystal light, and for lunch a SF pudding with a little protein. More water and for dinner another Premier Shake. I guess the protein has been filling. Yesterday I had two SF jello as well because I was a little hungrier. I wish you the best on tomorrow. Please give me some feedback since you are having a revision. Thanks

Thanks so much! I will definitely be in touch because my husband is having sleeve later in the year. Wish you the best as well.

I'm also a SPED teacher and like you said even with the laid back moments, I couldn't imagine going back after one week. How are things going for you now, post-op?
