@@wascott and several others --
So many 'likes' on several blank message forms? Does this mean the censors got there after some of the kids got a peek? Oh, rats, I missed out.
I think it's because the original picture was linked through an external website and not stored locally on bariatricpal. The external website must have deleted the picture thereby creating a dead link.

It's natural to be worried.
I think you need to focus on your long term health and seeing your kids graduate and get married, etc.
I'm down 80 plus pounds so far. I was worried pre surgery but have no regrets now. I rarely have much hunger anymore and when I do my sleeve vastly limits how much I can consume.

Looks delightful. (Both)

@@sunshine72 interesting. I appreciate hearing your comments. I didn't use a doctor associated with Bariatricpal nor have I felt any pressure to use their products or services. I'm here for the support of others that have had the same procedure. Good luck with your surgery.

@@Pejela The first few days after surgery were a bit of a challenge with fluids but it got better every day. Once I got home I was able to get as much Fluid as I needed. It just takes longer than before. I have no issues getting Protein in. I have to eat most meat slowly with tiny bites and lots of chewing. My energy was low for 2 ro 3 weeks post surgery. My energy level is good now. Yesterday I went on a 5.6 mile hike and burned around 850 calories.

@@Pejela I'm doing great! I'm down about 75 pounds total and down about 30 since surgery. I still have a way to go yet but I'll get there.

@@Pejela You'll be on Clear liquids while recovering at the Marriott. If you have some favorite Clear Liquids such as Vitamin Water Zero, I recommend bringing a few with you. (Must be in checked bag). The little shop at the Marriott has a limited selection of beverages. Water, broth, and popsicles are available as well. The popsicles weren't that great but they helped keep me hydrated. I was able to purchase Vitamin Water Zero at the San Diego airport to sip on once I was through security.
Lip balm was the most recommended item to me. I didn't end up needing it.
Comfortable shoes and clothes are a must. You'll want to walk a lot as soon as you come down from the anesthesia.
Good luck!

It was interesting to read about the process of making prosciutto.

I'm also 5 foot 11. I weighed about 291 when I started dieting before surgery. My surgery weight was 245. I had some low energy after surgery but feel pretty good now. (Almost 3 weeks post op)

You shouldn't eat solids this early.
My guess is that it will pass through and you'll be fine.

@@nursey 46 My pain was well managed by what I was given. My pain level was very low by the time I flew home. If your pain is not under control just talk to them and I'm sure they will address it.

Sorry you're having such a challenge with your band. There have been many many people that have gone from band to sleeve. I suggest searching for "band to sleeve" to dig up some posts.

@@nursey 46 Dr Ariel Ortiz did my sleeve on June-22. I had a great experience and everything went smoothly.
A shocking confession... (Warning - That may be a slight overstatement).

I get on the scale second thing in the morning and write my weight down. Every so often I enter the data into a spreadsheet and plot the data. It's interesting (to me) to see how my loss progresses.
