Thank you for sharing. You have no idea how much I needed to find this today. Struggling with my inner demons along with a child recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Don't know how to stop myself at this point. Will try to keep my chin up.

I had that for just under 4 weeks. It's from where they separate the muscles to get the stomach out and have to stitch them together very deeply. It's like a bad runners cramp. It will go away hang in there!

Good to know we aren't alone! I will check my inches.

I am 7 weeks tomorrow and going through the same thing! I'm going to up my protein and see if that does the trick. Keep us posted!

I completely agree with slikchick10! I'm 5.5 weeks out from a revision and it's so much better. You truly feel full and I've only had the "slimes" twice because I didn't chew well enough. It is so weird to eat foods that used to get stuck like eggs. Your think it's gonna come back up but it doesn't LOL. I think it is worth it. Good luck with your decision.

I am 5 weeks out and have a protein bar a couple times a week with no problems. It's a nice change. Just watch out for the carbs

Potpieiii-if you are like more I had some pretty tight clothes, especially jeans so I'm still not seeing too much difference after 26 pounds. It will come! I am now seeing a difference in my underwear lol

I am feeling the same thing coming on as it sinks in that the weight is really coming off. But I won't let it get me! LOL

Sorry Mokee

Great point moki! I missed the 2 week date.

My surgeon specifically said two months minimum.

For those struggling with protein remember hydration is most important the first couple of weeks. Your body will use your glycogen stores before using any protein. By then you should have an easier time of it. Just get as much as you can thru protein drinks. I find the lite muscle milk is the easiest to tolerate and room temp is easier on the new tummy. It will get better!

October 3rd surgery date. Preop weight 275, current weight 249.2. Feeling pretty good. Goal weight about 180. I'm 5'9" and 39 years old. I'm a band to sleeve conversion.

I have trouble with hamburger for some reason. I ate 2 oz of KC strip tonight and I've had some pork rib meat with no issues. Must be a texture thing or the higher tendon volume in ground beef. Hope it gets better for you!

The Doctor will separate muscles to get access to the stomach then put a deep stitch in. It takes a few weeks for it to totally stop hurting. You did too much! I did the same thing a couple weeks out. Hurt so bad! Good luck
