Woooohooooo I made it!! 7 days post op!! I feel good and no hunger!! I can officially move to full liquids today!!

I REALLY dont want to be a scale freak!!! I was just sooooo mad to lose almost 10 pounds pre-op 7 day liquid diet only to gain All 10 pounds back on the day of surgery now im 6 days out and Im down 10.5 pounds when really it should be 20 pounds.....i go to my first postop office apt on Thursday and I start my full liquids on this Wednesday......im so glad i have had NO APPETITE!! I love the vanilla shakes but pre-op i loved the chocolate....if you live by a vitamin shoppe they have a 40 gram protein drink by ISOPURE, i love the grape frost!! They gave me one in the hospital and its not thick or like a shake..

My dr prescribed me meds for 6 months...acid blocker

Omg the dr surely did not tell me I would gain 10 pounds the day of surgery...i was so sad and worked so hard on my 7 day liquid preop and lost 9.2 pounds only to wake up and have gained 10......im 5 days out and have been losing 1.5 a day....i too must stay off the scale!!

Im feeling fine...i have a lil pain on my right side when i wake up or if i bend...i was lapband to sleeve on 4-9-2014....i have no hunger at all and im trying really hard to get my protein and water in but i have not....i be soooo full drinking a 11oz shake and it takes over 2 hours to drink...

I had to pay the dr 2 weeks b4 surgery $750 and I had to pay the hospital a day before surgery $1150.....i was alteady told on my first consult that is what i would have to pay!!

Hmmm i was revision from band to sleeve 4/9/14 and was told i may or may not have any food restrictions that it was trial/error....i havent had an appetite at all since 4/9

I was sleeved 4/9 the only thing i been doin is sipping all day too, my dr gave me a sheet it says sip every 15 min i usually start at 15 min but it ends up 30-45 min every sip. I can drink 16 oz of water 11 oz shake 1 8 oz isopure and 4 oz of g2 gatorade in a whole day...each day im trying to get more fluids in..my goal by the end of the week is to get 2 shakes in so i can get 60 protein, right now im only getting 45

I only had soreness around the port for 2 days but it was a lot of bruising of the skin....Im 4 days out and my right side is still tender and sensitive..but I am feeling great

I had my surgery 4-9-2014 and they removed my band and did the sleeve they rolled me back at 9am when I woke up it was 145pm. Im not sure if it took 2 hours and I was in recovery for 1 hr and 45 min or not, but the dr said if I didn't have a lot of scar tissue It would only be a 2hr surgery.

Hi we are twins............you have described my stomach exactly and I am 4 days post op...I only feel sore in one incision and that's the the right hand side one.

I take the barilife powdered multi Vitamins but I was told I can take the flinstone chewable vitamins... I plan on taking the barilife powdered multi for 3 months then I will switch to flintstones. Good luck

Band to sleeve on 4/9 my stomach is bloated as well!! I even gained almost 10pounds on the day of surgery from everything they put in my body that day...

I started the day i came home and its powdered vitamins by barilife and my b12 is a nasal spray

I took phone charger, gasx, deodorant, hair brush and flip flops...they provide me a gown and a robe, toothpaste, toothbrush, maxi pads and shower gel!! My back and shoulder was killing me and i had to wait for pain management to give me gas x so i just took one that i had in my bag....it moved the gas asap on my back but not my shoulder...they walk me every 2hours and they gave me heparin shots 2x a day

I did not have a chest xray
