  6. Hi, I've not received a request yet if you could please add me aparker28110@yahoo.com thanks
  7. Thanks for the info...dr Parrillo did my sleeve April 16th I'm doing better with the protein but still struggling to consume enough water! Once I'm cleared to try protein bars I will have to try your suggestion...thanks!
  8. Can I please be added to the Facebook page? I was sleeved April 16th aparker28110@yahoo.com
  9. Mine was on the right side too and taken out at the hospital while I was still on pain meds and still was pretty painful
  10. I didn't have the band, I had the sleeve so I'm not sure if all band surgeries do not require the drain or if its at the dr's discretion even with the sleeve but I did have the drain on my right side
  11. Wow! I only had mine in overnight while at the hospital they removed it before I went home...I did has a stitch into my muscle and 7 staples where the pump was...not sure I could've handled it in much longer...you will definitely be relieved to have that come out
  12. Definitely not the word I would use either I think the nurse who removed it has my handprint permanently indented in her arm
  13. I had a great experience! I have not thrown up at all, had no pre op diet but was on liquids for 2 weeks following surgery and did have a drain pump...that's the only incision that has hurt at all! I'm 2 1/2 weeks out, had surgery on the 16th and am doing pretty good on puréed foods so far just have a hard time keeping the carbs under 30 but its all a learning experience and everyday get better...I'm down 21 lbs so that is definitely something to be proud of...go me!!!

  16. I'm making myself eat every 2 hrs as directed by my dietician...she said if we stay too far under 800-1000 calories that I can hit a major plateau and I didn't want that at all

  18. I was sleeved and had the hiatal hernia repair on the 16th and couldn't even look at water or protein without getting sick...yesterday I finally met...actually exceeded the protein consumption with 96 grams. What I did was 1 an oh yeah strawberry cream shake in the morning (32 grams) I at a string cheese (7 grams) 1/4 Wendy's chili (4.2 grams) 1 scrambled egg (6 grams) 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (42 grams) with 8 oz skim milk (10 grams) 2 tbs. peanut butter (7 grams) with a couple of I've cubes and blended it was soooo good this gave me 46 grams of fat, 39 carbs, 97 grams of protein, 24 grams of sugar and 950 calories which is pretty good I would just like to get the carbs under 30 try a diet similar and it might make you feel a little bit better it definitely helped me as far as the water I'm still only able to consume about 30 oz and I have lost 18 lb my Dr said this was great...I know when I came home I had gained 8 lbs of water weight so are you counting that in you weight loss...I don't I waited until I got to the weight the morning of surgery to calculate any weight loss...good luck and please contact me if you need anything since we had surgery a day apart and both had the hernia repair we are in the same boat together
