My taste buds have changed and my food desires. I no longer want butter, bread, cake, hot dogs, bacon or sausage. The meats and butter put a slimed fat in the roof of my mouth that's just yucky. The breads and cakes are heavy and not desirable. I still enjoy a small piece of extra dark chocolate from time to time. Pasta is too sticky. Love my roasted veggies and cottage cheese. I'm four months out and thrilled with lapband to sleeve. I had the band for 7 years and gained weight, diabetes and 2 partial knees during that time. I am now off all meds and no longer have high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure. I do not compare my weight loss to others as we are all different. I am thankful for the opportunity to be healthy. I am down three sizes and can do yoga, go walking and exercise on the wii. I plan on walking trails, canoe day trips and zip lining this summer. Life's good!

20 pounds down since December surgery. Slow but 3 sizes down in slacks so I'm loosing inches. All my labs are great and I'm off all meds including diabetic meds!

I'm six weeks out this coming Monday. Same bathroom problems! It's terrible! I did smooth move tea last 2 times. Started 1 Colace a day (just this evening). Do you think it's cause we eat the protein first and have limited room for veggie and fruit? This is the third weekend I've had this problem.

Glad you are doing well. Welcome to the land of sleeve.

Beautiful picture-the smile says it all! Congrats!

I was on protein shakes, liquid protein in water and broths. I didn't eat much jello and didn't like the Popsicles. Good luck.

My sister is an RN and also recovered Bariatric patient. She said the back pain can be from sleeping on back also. Most of us are side sleepers.

Was sleeved on the 8th and I'm only sore on bottom right side of tummy below the longer incision.My back is also sore from sleeping on it. I've only had children's Tylenol for pain 3 times total. I just wish I had some energy.

Good job!!

I am 10 days out and have no energy and when I think about how little we eat I feel this must be why. How's your energy?

Great news ladies!

Hi friend, I had my revision from band to sleeve on the 8th of December. I'm pleased with my progress. I'm healing well and enjoying my protein shakes, cream soups and yogurts. I'm down 13 pounds. I am able to kind of lay on my side which is great! Hope all are happy and healthy. It doesn't bother me to see others eat. I am excited about eating an egg eventually.

Dustin, hope it's going well! I had revision Monday and I'm pleased. Hope your getting stronger each day!

I had revision surgery last Monday. I don't care about food but enjoy looking at it when others eat it because I feel like I have power over it! It's just food! I told my sister that I wanted to poke my husbands sausage biscuit with a stick and tease it like a possum : )

Bring saline, bio teen chap stick. They were a great help to me. I'm recovering and stayed with my diet like a flea on a blue tick coonhound! Walk walk walk the walk some more. Sipping is key also. You guys and dolls know this but I'm proof that it can be done. Peace to you all !
