  1. I was also Jan. 7th. I was a revision band to sleeve. I have lost 31 pounds. I feel great and can eat pretty much everything with no problems.
  2. Fell a pound and a half short of my goal. I just signed up for the 52 week challenge! So happy
  3. I had surgery Jan 7 2012. I Have lost 24 pounds. I know that's a great loss but this week as been very slow. Doing everything I should be doing.
  4. I just had a band to sleeve revision in January. I was never happy with my band. I threw up constantly! My band slipped and I developed a leak in my tubing. I feel so much better. I am very happy with my decision and down 25 pounds already.
  5. Good luck. I just had my revision 2 weeks ago. I feel fantastic! I am so glad to have the band out.
  6. I start my soft food stage today. It says I can have baked fish. Do you think that would include shrimp? I can call tomorrow but wanted to try a new lw cal Mexican shrimp tonight. ????
  7. Just did my 1st week weigh in down 5.8 this week.
  8. Thank you...I was doing it on my iPad and it doesn't show goals. Found it on my laptop.
  9. Does anyone know if you can adjust the proteins and carbs? If so how? Thank you
  10. Hi I just had my band removed and sleeved 9 days ago. I feel fantastic! I hated my band nothing but problems. I have lost 12 pounds and feel great. My recommendation would be to make sure your surgeon is skilled in revision. Good luck.
  11. Thought I might share this everyone. I had my surgery 6 ads ago and feeling fantastic. In the hospital they had given me a pain killer that made me so nauseous. May Dr and nurse told me they had just attended a seminar on using 1,000mg Tylenol in your IV after surgery for pain. This was truly my turning point. No more nauseous no more dizziness no more pain. Just thought I would let you guys know!
  12. I have no pain. More like tenderness. I haven't taken any of the pain pills. They made me so nauseous. My husband has made a few new soup recipes (smooth) so yummy. It was hard today with football no dips and cocktails....I actually feel better. I am getting all protein and water in. Really miss diet coke
  13. My revision was on the 7th so far so good. Down 12lbs.
  14. They took mine out before I left hospital. It was a piece of cake. No pain at all. It was so bothersome. My surgery was also on the 7 th.
  15. Hi, I just had surgery five days ago with a hernia repair and lap band to sleeve revision. I know what you mean about too sweet! My taste buds are back to normal but the only shake I could handle was the Unjury chocolate splendor. I used 1% milk it seems to be a little creamier my doc is ok with it. If you blend with a few ice cubes it is yummy!
  16. Hi...I am a band to sleeve revision on 1/7. I also have no erosion. Excited and nervous!
  17. I am having my revision on Jan. 7
  18. Was anyone able to have ISOPURE sugar free drinks on the clear liquid stage?
  19. I am trying to get ideas for upcoming clear liquid diet. Any ideas?
  20. I am trying to get ideas for pre op Clear liquids only diet. Any ideas?
