MP: chopstikkninja

I called my Dr Monday and they told me with lots the exercising I'm doing I need to ramp it up to 1000 cal. I was at 800. I'm on the. I me for 20 min then lifting weights for another hour. I'll be honest with everyone. It's Easter there's candy around I might go over a bit. Lol.

Peacheeie- my story is just like your. My starting weight was 207 had a revision do to band failure and also diabetes. I have gotten down as far at 185. I started working out the lasts 3 weeks and I'm up to 188. Calories are set To 800 by me. Dr states not to count calories, eat three meals and stay away from carbs. I can eat more then 4 oz, wonder if I stretched my sleeve. Dr and RNP says my weightloss will be slow because of the band.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING!!!. I was a mess the days leading up to my surgery. I couldn't even drive to the hospital that day. Hangin there!!

I'm in Bellevue. My surgeon is Dr Myur Srikanth and I'm having surgery at Evergreen Hospital on Thursday, 2/21.

He just did my revision 1/22/15

Week- 5/6 pureed

Week- 7/8- Soft

Week- 9- Normal Foods

Im only 9 days post op

Banded 2006. Revision last Thursday all so gallbladder taken out.

My wife had it done at the same time. I'm having it done also.

Thank you for the update, My surgery is in 6 days I'm scared but excited, My surgeon wants us on Clear Liquids for 4 weeks post op, then pureed for week 5 and six. The real kicker is no actual food meals until week nine.

204 this morning not to shabby. I think the store bought broths have worked their way out of my system. So much sodium in them. The Protein that I use is made by Syntrax. Peanut Butter cookie is awesome. 150 calories, 23 g protien, and 6 carbs, Pretty good.

I'll double check the scale in the morning, my first weigh in of the day. The orders are 10 days clear liquid us 3 Protein Shakes a day, I'm following it exactly. Your right about sodium content, I've started to make my own broth yesterday and not adding any salt.

They want me to shrink my liver. I need to drink more Water. I know my calorie intake are low, by how much I normally eat before the diet.

I'm on day 3 of 10 clear liquid diet, and I'm gaining weight. Normally 202-204 but day 3 started at 210. I've been drinking 3 Protein shakes a day, sugar free Jello and home made broth.

What gives?

Dr. wants to see wight loss. Surgery on 8 days.

Finally someone else having the surgery on the same day. Sure we can be sleeve buddies. I'm having my surgery in Kirkland Wa.

I know I have a great surgeon. He did my wife's sleeve, and gall bladder. I'm still scared.

I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow. I get to include Protein shakes I belive 6th rams of Protein a day.

Good luck too you also. If you have any question ask away if I can't answer them I know my wife can.

Thank you for reply!! It helps to know that others have been successful with this surgery. I have to try to focus on thinking positive.

It is set!! Revision in 12 days. I had my final consult yesterday, ready to get this show on the road.

I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow for 11 day so I can shrink my fatty liver. I didn't know he was over weight ?

I'm ready for it, but really scared of passing away during surgery. SCARED.

On top of that I found out I have the pre stages of barret esophagus issues after my endoscopy. Then put H.Pilory in the mix.

Baby steps one thing at a time.

Im scheduled for Jan 22nd. Band to sleeve. How is everything going?

I have BC/BS and approved the first try. I think you should be good to go. I was taken back, by what your psychologist said. I think family support is a big thing. Your family should be proud of you for taking the next step to being healthy and be around for along time.

Even though I'm at 33% bf my diabetes is out of control, that's one of the main reasons to get the surgery,

Hang in there, think positive, think about the new you.

I noticed the EMS. I'm also in the EMS field and it does impact my job at times. Also the embarrassment of trying to fit it to tight areas, especially when I hit my port.
