Good luck to all the Monday's! From someone who had it done last Tuesday, you can do this! Try not to be scared, it's not as bad as I thought. Just drink and walk and you will be home in no time! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

You look amazing!!! Way to go. I'm day 3 post op and so far I've gained 3 lbs but I'm hopeful! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

I'm day 3 post op and I keep gaining weight! So upset! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

I am so frustrated! Today is day 3 post op and I have gained another pound! Ugh! I have had nothing but Water, medicine and my Protein Drink. I am ready to see the scale moving down not up! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

I know I shouldn't be weighing myself everyday but I can't help it. I'm so excited! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

So good to heard! I have gained 4lbs since surgery but they say it's bc of swelling. Is this normal? Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

I have had a hysterectomy and I too have gained weight. They say it is bc our bodies are swollen bc they have been beaten up so bad. Plus they pumped us with a lot of Fluid. I gained 4 lbs. This morning is day 3 post op and I'm down 2 lbs so 2 more to go till I'm back at surgery weight. It really sucks but I know it has to be the surgery cuz we haven't eaten anything and we've been walking. We can do this! Let me know how fast ur excess weight is coming off too. How much did u gain?

I drink chocolate Premier Protein. It has 30 grams of protein per drink and only one gram of sugar. I really like the way it tastes. They are sold at Sam's and costco. Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

I just had my revision on Monday. So happy I got it! I'm not hungry right now and I never had that feeling with the band. I was banded in 2006. I'm 34 and mom to a 3 year old and I can't wait to play with her without getting to tired or short of breath after 5 min. Pre liquid died weight wad 240 and morning of surgery was 229. I'm at 233 right now but they say its just Water rention from surgery. Good luck to you and keep me posted! Lisa :-)<br />surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

Congrats! My hospital my gave a bunch of 1 oz cups and I was to drink 1 every 15 min. That way you don't drink too much. Now that I'm home I can drink one every 10 min. Drinking a Protein drink right now. Woke up at 5 and can't go back to sleep. I can't have more pain meds till 8 but I'm doing ok without it right now. So happy for you! Lisa :-)

Took more med at 7 and that has really helped with the pain. It makes me sleepy though so I can barely keep my eyes open. I am not hungry at all! I am perfectly content with just drinking my water and protein drink. I think that's amazing. I never experienced no hunger with the band. Lisa :-)

Doing good. I got to go home today! Not having any problems getting my protein and water in. I'm in pain but the meds help. I walk every 3 to 4 hours. I had my band removed and switched to bypass. So far I'm loving the bypass! Lisa :-)

Yea!!! I went home today too! Lisa :-)

Surgery was successful. Surgeon said my stomach had a lot of trauma from th band and they had to remove some of my stomach. But he was able to do the bypass. I'm in some pain now but not tremendous. Lisa :-)
