Hi Kellarsmom, I had my band to sleeve revision with a hiatal hernia repair by Dr. Clayton Frenzel on 5/18. The surgery was very successful and I've lost 26 pounds thus far. Dr. Frenzel and his staff are great and very supportive. They're always there to answer any concerns or questions. Feel free to reach out with any questions...you'll do great!! Good luck and see you on the losers bench ????

Hi May sleevers, I had my surgery on 5/18 and I've lost 22 lbs since my pre-op. Losing pretty slow I think. I went for my 2 week post-op today and the surgeon was pleased with my results so far. She did tell me I was dehydrated and if I didn't increase my Fluid intake I could be hospitalized. Working on increasing my Water, Protein and food. I'm sure this is why I still feel weak, lethargic and dizzy all the time. I feel like I'm getting better, but my weight has been stalling and creeping up, not going in the desired direction (down). I walk almost 10k steps a day, I'm just ready to lose????

June 1st - 208.8 up one pound from last week My goal is still 185 *fingerscrossed*

I am taking heed to EVERYONE'S advice! Thank you for all of the great nuggets! no pun intended ????

I'm in - 9 days post op Current weight - 210 Goal weight - 185

Thank you ladies! I'm typically the one who tries to be strong for everyone else, thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable, this is such a safe place. I did eat a Popsicle and I plan on going to the store tomorrow to buy some good soups. I feel better, just a little down. I guess I'm missing food. Thanks again for helping me be strong ????????

Hello fellow sleevers, I am 8 days post op today, and I am ravishingly hungry! It's weird because if I take a few sips of my tomato basil Soup, it feels weird going down and I won't want anymore. I want to chew and I want something tasty. None of the broths or Soups that I have are hitting the spot. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome! I'm miserable at the moment, can't tell if it's head hunger or actual hunger. I think my body is tripping out because I haven't had food in almost two weeks. Thanks for listening (reading)...????????

Hi Shay, Be sure to share with us how your first day back at work went. I am afraid to return so soon, I still get very tired real easily and I'm still taking my pain meds, although I've tapered them down quite a bit. I wish I could poop, no luck in that dept. I just don't have the urge to go. I'm having a hard time with the protein too!

Hi buddies! I'm six days post op and everyday seems to get a little better, easier. I've been able to get in my 48oz Fluid requirement, but I must admit it is very very difficult to get in my Protein intake. The taste of the Isopure and the Premier Protein is disgusting to me. I was definitely able to tolerate the taste of the Premier pre-surgery. I drink my Water, broth and watered down juices pretty well. The gas pain has not been as bad as I thought it would be. When I had my Lapband the pain seemed to awfully last a long time, but this time not so much. I have suffered with acid reflux more this go round, the Pepcid AC and the prescription seems to help. It feels great to pass gas (fart) and burp. I try to walk as often as I can, although I think I can do better with this. I only get in about 1000 steps a day. I get wiped out pretty easily. I find that I've been sleeping quite a bit (and I feel guilty about that). I still have the internal pain and I take the pain meds as needed. I still haven't had a BM, is this normal for you all? I also still have some inflammation and swelling in my belly. Here is where I've progressed from to today: Sw: 232 Surgery day weight: 219-220 Cw: 210 I'd love to hear how all of my other buddies are doing ????????????

I'm four days post op and I feel much better today. I haven't taken any pain meds yet, or had any gas meds yet. I did get really weak earlier when I was in the shower and pretty much passed out afterwards. My goal has been to get in my fluids, walk as much as possible and use my incentive spirometer. I still get wiped out very easily.

I agree with Twitty, I'm 3 days post-op too, I had a band to sleeve revision with a hernia repair. I am so surprised that the gas pain hasn't been horribly bad, I try to walk as often as I can, just mainly around my house, I do take 2 gas x strips at once every few hours. I mainly feel it when I swallow, I think I'm swallowing air with the small sips, I'd rather drink out of a straw. We're all in this thing together, I do know for sure it will improve with time. ????????
