Congrats on the weight loss!! I haven’t lost any weight since day five I had a revision lapband to sleeve on October 1st. I’m 13 days out and still the same weight since day five, I had an issue of not keeping in dairy or artificial sweeteners. So I couldn’t do protein shakes. I’m hoping now that I’m on stage 3 and just starting to get the protein I need I will start to lose.

I’m feeling great, couple of hiccups with stage 2, I could not hold in any dairy, nor anything with artificial sweeteners? I was at a loss for how to get protein in. I’m slowly eating dairy but the whey I can’t keep in, so now I’m doing one protein water a day along with my food. I had my lapband in 2011. I have to say this was a less painful and quicker recovery. I was up and walking the night of my surgery, of course I had been hooked up to everything. I’m telling you the quicker and more you walk the better you will feel. I never had one gas pain. With the lapband I had it in my shoulder and thought I was going to die. Usually unless your doctor doesn’t do revisions regularly I see no reason not to have it done in one day, I had a lot of scar tissue and was in the OR for three hours. Don’t be nervous give that up to God put that worry aside. Praying for you! Hope this helped to put your mind at ease. ?
