    Had my one week post op visit today, and 10 lost...I am like wow....I don't know about other bandsters, but for this previous lab bandster, it took me 2 weeks to lose 10 on the liquid diet. I had a lot of scar tissue, so my Dr is extending the liquids for one more week, but I will be on thick liquids and not the Clear Liquids.< /p>

    Girl let me tell ya, I am beginning to feel the same way LOL, I had to ask what to take for Constipation and they told me to use senokot. My Dr told me I had to much tissue damage so I am still on liquids, except I am on thick liquids, like Protein shakes and cream Soups. I can't start the semi solids until next week. I am with you, girl I couldn't take it anymore either so I was with you and Lil Wayne LOL....Today is a much better day, I feel little to no pain, and beginning to feel like me again, especially after losing 10lbs girl I couldn't believe it....I am loving it and it shows in my clothing, girl I had to pull out an old bra from when I was a few pounds lighter

    Yes. I broke out bad on my neck and chest. It was from the medicine they prescribed to prevent gall stones with sudden weight loss, ursodial. Hope you find the reason soon...

    The day after my surgery I noticed a rash on my face neck and started to spread to my arms. I was allergic to the pain medication and had to discontinue and take Benadryl. Don't ignore the rash ask dr about it. Could be a drug allergy and could only get worse. Good luck on your journey.

    Good for you AStoot. I am only in the beginning stages of looking into getting the sleeve. I was banded in 2008 and can't wait to get this thing out. I will say it served its purpose because who knows how much I'd weigh by now without it. I wish you all the best on your journey...Alfie

    Oh wow! Are you in a lot of pain? Remember to take you meds as prescribed. I don't wait for the pain to take my meds. Thank God I hardly have pain. It has really helped to take my meds. I was able to get down 60 grams of Protein yesterday. It was a lot of sipping, but was I determined. I don't want to loose my hair.< /p>

    I have also been able to eat pureed. I can only eat 2 to 3 ozs but at lease that's better than a shake all day. That's why I am all clogged up. Not the move. I don't have time to be sitting on the toilet like that all day.

    Things are much better than yesterday. I was so constipated. Not to be graphic, but it felt like someone had their whole fist up my butt. I called the nurse and begged to drink some citrus magnesium. The nurse encouraged me to try milk of magnesium first. I tried, and the suffering continued the whole day. I girlllll when I drank half that bottle, life began in about 40 mins. Lol! Today I had some minor stomach pain in the morning, and I took some Ibuprofen. I was good all day. I think I am completely off the sizzuyrup. That stuff was just too much for me. Every time I poured my shot I would think about Little Wayne. Lol! How are you feeling?

    Thanks everyone, @@CrazyJaney you were right, it was gas pain/muscles. My Dr recommended more walking and that did the trick. I do still have some pain, but not as server like before.

    You can try going to a chiropractic for the pain you did stay in a hospital for 2 days or so. One time I had a eye op and had to lay on my side for a week pulled my neck n shoulder something fierce.

    I agree with calling doc but I also had a really sore, painful back the first week. I think it was muscle pain from anesthesia, being guarded from pain (tense muscles) and probably just gas. The heating pad was my best pain - right in the middle of my shoulder blades. But, no thread on this site can replace what your doc says. Let us know what you find out.

    A. Stoot reacted to CowgirlJane in Band to Sleevers how many pounds did yu drop in the first 2 months ?   
    I didn't lose slower with sleeve...much faster actually. It depends on your starting point- I was over 50 BMI at time of revision.
    It is my opinion that regardless of bougie sized you will be able to eat more quantity and more variety of foods with sleeve. That worked for me because I can eat salads etc and est more normally. I resorted to sliders with band due to pain eating dense Protein.
    It is important to have realistic expectations. The trade off is that I feel I manage to eat more normally without vomiting or sliming or whatever.

    I'm a year out and am still experiencing dry, chapped lips from the dehydration. I always carry Carmex or Burt's Bees because of the chapped lips - and whenever I put some on, it reminds me to keep drinking my water!

    Make sure that you are drinking enough. Sometimes, dry lips are a sign of dehydration. Hope you feel better!!!
