Soli3l

I had an appetite on the 5th day post op, but not as bad now, I am on full liquids, my band was taken out 5 wks ago and I was sleeved 1 week ago.

Everyone is different but on the 4th day I noticed a lot of improvement.

Omg I thought it was just me, but I am constantly cold. But I love it, it's better than being hot. Thank God my car you can control your heat, my husband likes his side cold and I like it hot!!!

I'm sure it does get better...

I tried but it didn't help much

Nope not me...if I get gas I burp it out. But everyone is a bit different. I was sleeved on 11/14.

I love the cookies n cream shake from GNC total lean, but thank you, I will try that recipe. Sounds delicious!!!

I start soft foods next Tuesday too, not bored of shakes since I started them yesterday. And I also mix inflavored protein in my Campbell's Cream of Chicken etc soup and put it my Magic Bullet. I had Solid Poop size of a meatball and diarrhea yesterday. Lol.

4everhope: I have no more gas pains, sleeping on my bed (able to sleep on my right side and back, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLEEP ON LEFT SIDE - felt like my stomach in a knot and excruciating pain), I take my pain med 1x a day. I started my full liquids today, only been able to have a 4 0z protein shake, and 4oz of clear liquids, still swollen, down 5lbs, get really hungry after 8 pm. Getting better everyday. Love the Cookies n Cream GNC Total Lean protein made with 1/2 water and 1/2 skim.

How's it going? What are your current struggles and what stage are you in your diet? Clear liquids? Full? Soft?

I was also sleeved 11/14...I was really hungry on Sunday and yesterday after 8 pm while on clear liquid diet, I am ok during the day. I started full liquids today, so I will see what happens at night.

I was able to sleep flat yesterday on my bed, haven't lost a single pound, still swollen and as everyday passes the better you get.

I was discharged yesterday. I can't take my Percocet it makes me itchy and gives me bad heartburn. So I switched to Tylenol. One sip at a time and one burp at a time. After surgery I said what did I do to myself? For heartburn I was told to take an antacid. Can only get in a couple of teaspoons of chicken broth and a couple of sips of Water.

Nerves are kicking in, I even had a nightmare where the doctor could not do the Sleeve because my stomach was too big and he was going to retry in a week, lol.

My date is also Nov 14th, I start my preop diet on Nov 13th Clear Liquids. Started Prilosec 20 mg and no aspirin since 11/1/12.

So I got the band removed today took 20 min, but it took 2 hrs to wake up from anesthesia. It took 6 hrs to be in/out of hospital. Clear Liquid diet continues for today ???? In 4 wks I'm getting sleeve performed.

Thanks for your wishes and support, I will keep you guys posted.

So I am anxious, tommorrow is my revision surgery. I was on the lap band for 27 months and only lost 12lbs. Tommorrow, my lap band will be removed and if there is no damage to my gastrointestinal joint it will be converted to a sleeve. If there is damage then I need to wait a month for it to heal and then have part 2 of the surgery. Otherwise, I may run a high risk of leaks which is difficult to correct. Better to be safe than sorry.
