Hello, I had a revision surgery a year ago. The only way I got through the liquid diet was hot beverages. Hot tea and decaf coffee. Sweetened with calorie free sweetener and if I wanted creamer I used fat free half and half with sugar free/calorie free flavored syrups. They curbed my hunger and still do. Same for hot soup and broth. I drank it as hot as I could stand. I tried to also keep myself full off water. The key is to make sure you try to stay ahead of your hunger with the approved options. Try to consume something every 2-3 hours.

Hello everyone. I finally had surgery this past Monday, 11/18. It took my surgeon a while to get the Lapband out of me because of all the scar tissue that had accumulated. I was supposed to come home yesterday, but I couldn't. I was in so much freaking pain and had so much nausea that I stayed until today. So I sat in my favorite recliner after getting home for about 20 minutes and well, I've been in bed ever since. I knew it was going to be painful, but dang this really hurts. I'm not hungry at all which is the point/purpose. I've lost two pounds so far, and I know that as the swelling, gas, and pain fades, I will continue to get smaller. Yeahhhhh, now I'm excited and happy!

Hello everyone, I had surgery on 7/16 and was fine up until week 3.5 to week 4. I wasn’t able to get my water in or food down without throwing up. So I called my surgeons office and went it. Where my lapband was had become extremely tight and was not allowing anything to go through. So I was scheduled to go in the next morning which was last Thursday to have an EGD with a ballon stretch in the area where the issue was. I now can eat about 6oz of food before I feel satiety. I am worried it was over stretched. I am not losing any weight. I am very concerned I am eating to much. It is low fat and low carb meals and of course protein first. I am still adhering to the no drinking with meals and waiting to eat 30 minutes after drinking and waiting to drink 30 minutes after eating. I am just looking for input and opinions on what I should do.

I was just watching a YouTube who had done a lot of research and she found a website where they fight for the revisions and surgeries to be approved after they are denied. They work and get you approved. Might be something to look into. The website is www.wlsappeals.com and it is called Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy.

Thanks, I am working on gathering the information and planning my attack. I am not an overly emotional type person. I fight with facts. I work the system. I am just tried of being in pain. Mexico or selfpay is not an option. I have been through life or death surgeries. I never given up. This is not only important to me; it effects my family.

You're very newly out of surgery. Of course trying to stomach things other than liquids will hurt! Please try to be patient with your new anatomy and with yourself. I promise it will get better! Follow your plan to the letter, and hang in there!

Takes time. Hydration is King! Followed closely by walking. Adjust your mindset that this is a rough rough time that will pass. And focus on drinking that 1oz cup of water every 15 minutes that they want!!! Sip sip sip. Walk walk walk. And your life will go much easier!!! Congrats on surgery!

So sorry to hear about the pain your having.
I had my surgery 2 days before you and haven't had any of those kind of issues.
I am slightly constipated and was very weak to the point of passing out. Some nausea but never to the point of vomiting.
I can't possibly be dehydrated because I drink at least 6 ,16 oz bottles of water a day.
If you keep feeling this way call your Dr. back.
Hopefully you feel better soon.

Listen to your body, and just be patient. If you’re unable to keep water down/Gatorade down, then you should talk to your doctor immediately! Best of luck!

I was the same and regretted surgery , now I’m 5 weeks post op and still have a little pain when I drink to fast or eat food I’m learning that affects me badly. It gets easier I promise. I’m down 34 kg and had surgery 18 June 2019 

Hey y’all! I am 1 week and 1 day post surgery. It was a lapband to bypass revision and I literally cannot stomach anything but water and some Gatorade zero. My tiny tummy and bowels are still hurting and I feel like I may never be able to consume food again. I know it’s part of the process and feeling bummed or depressed about food is very common but I just want to see if the stomach and bowel pain is common. I have no issues going to the restroom because it is straight liquid. I was back in the hospital Sunday into Monday because I ended up with cellulitis in my left side. Any insight would be appreciated.

RNY on the 16th!
