Hi, today is day #8 for me. I feel ya. Keep trying to get your protein and Water in. If you're drinking soon after drinking your protein don't do it. Just reminding you
Hang in there. It gets better, but you have to also commit to staying on your Liquid Protein. Find one you like add a little fruit make a smoothie. Not sweet enough add a packet of truvia or honey It's the only way I've been able to deal with it as well. We have to work harder, are you with me?

Congrats you look Great!!!!!

I had surgery 1/21/13 I started at 299 as of today I'm 199 yaay and I'm 14 pounds away from my goal weight I am so happy and pleased w my weightloss and for you new sleevers hang in there it will happen

Today is post op day 6 for me!! I had the laPband system removed and converted to the sleeve. Seems that can't take in liquids as as fast as the previous days. Soreness is better, but the right side pain and pulling feeling is NOT FUN! The sugar free Popsicles are heavenly.. Drinking Premier Protein shakes, 30gm Protein per 11oz container.. Trying to stay positive,prayerful, and hydrated????!

That is about the same time that I started to feel hungry again. My surg was on 7/5 - when I went to the pureed diet - even though I was only eating 1 tbsp at a meal - it did help. I found that during that period when I couldn't eat "food" - the sugar-free popsicles worked very well. You will do great!

Yes!! I am
Doing great too!!!!

I had the lapband procedure done May 2012. Since then I have only lost 20 pounds! I started off at 268.9 and dropped to 248.9. I was able to maintain this weightloss for a year. I did not have many complications with the band the first 4-5 months. One day I was awakened by acid reflux coming through my nose and it was down hill from there! The reflux continued along with heartburn and pain. After several fills to try and correct the problem nothing was successful. A friend of mine had the sleeve procedure a month after me her weight continued to fall of with no complaints! I then decided to see my surgeon about a revision. Everything was submitted to my insurance and the removal and revision was approved. I have been on a 2 week liquid diet it has been pure hell, but I know in the long run it will all be worth it! Today as I go in to surgery I weigh 237.8! My goal weight is between 150-160! I look forward to reaching that!
