my nurse practitioner had me give up all liquid Protein Shakes, yogurt, hummus, etc. and only eat foods like chicken breast and hamburger patties -- anything that takes more effort to eat. i also am making sure not to drink 30 minutes before and after eating. i find that this has helped my Portion Control, and i'm back to losing again -- slow but steady.

I had a very similar situation, but had my band drained for both pregnancies (banded since 2003). I had band slippage and 2 hiatal hernias (first diagnosed Nov 2015/repaired Dec 2015, and second April 2016/repaired May 17 w/band removal & sleeve conversion).
I'm currently at day 11 with my sleeve. Loving it! The first few days were a bit rough -- painful to drink, then the constant feeling of hunger. Yesterday (day 10), I was able to have yogurt and my first full feeling!
Do know there is hope, and you are not alone!
I read in one of the forums here that patients with band conversions have a more difficult time. My NP confirmed this yesterday at my first post-op appointment. So do keep this in mind if you're tempted to stray from better food choices.

Had my band since 2008. Had revision to sleeve on 3/16/2016. The first week was difficult. Anything I drank had to be warm or was painful and yes I could feel it enter my stomach. It may be worse if you had hernia repaired. Hang in there, it will get better.
