stars in my eyes got a reaction from GoldnGirl6677 in April 2014 sleevers
I am 3 weeks post-op and have not lost anymore weight since my first post-op check up (13 lbs). I am a sleeve revision and didn't have but about 50 lbs to lose to begin with. I'm following the diet, but can't really exercise except for walk since I also had a hernia repair. I will be cleared for the gym hopefully at my next check up.
I've stayed the same weight for 3 weeks. Not sure what to do either. Any ideas? I've been thinking about cutting carbs...not sure what else might work.

Well ty sboulie 77. As far as pain, its moderate, but manageable with the pain meds. The worst pain for me is the site where my port was removed from, but I expected that since it was sewn into my muscle wall. If you are a big baby when it comes to pain like me. Stay on top of it and don't wait till its really bad for meds. If you find yourself phlegming and/or frothing, as may happen due to all the swelling , drink warm Water or tea before your meal (even liquid meals). And some of the worst pain in the hospital was the gas pressure inside your chest and abdomen. The only way to get relief is to burp, pass gas , and walk around as much as possible. And even if its hard stay up on your Fluid intake...sip sip sip!

Hey everybody, I was originally an April sleever, but my date was moved up to March 26th. Surgery went well and yes I woke up sleeved. Besides the removal of my lap band and scar tissue, I found out my band was slipped afterall and that I had a hernia ( none of that showed on the upper gi). I'm so happy with my decision to get sleeved. Im on liquid diet and can't wait for 2nd stage liquids tomorrow! Congrats to everyone doing this too. Let's go on this journey and adventure together!
