I had my surgery on Monday, and came home Tuesday night. The home health nurse removed my drain today. I'm doing pretty well. Still some pain...I'm thankful for the pain meds. Each day gets better. I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in. I'm told that will come. I see my surgeon on Monday. I'm looking forward to that appointment. I wish all the best to the upcoming sleevers for next week. I did it - you can too.

I had my revision surgery from lap band to sleeve on 9/10/13. I am feeling really good and already down 22 lbs from my starting weight. I pray this works better for me than the lap band did - glad to have that thing OUT!

Im not thats just it LOL Ive only been getting in about 24 oz a day. I know my Dr doesnt expect me to come straight home and be able to go straight to drinking 64 oz a day. While in hospital I only had one bite of Jello, one sip of broth and one sip of crystal light at each feeding and had nothing at all my last meal there I was packing to head home and didnt even touch it! I know it will all come in time and Im not to worried at this point.Oh and by the way the worst part for me was where I had my surgery at they weigh you before you go home I gained 11 pounds while there due to all the fluids in the iv.

omg. You sound just like I felt. Could not eat anything. The second day I made myself drink a Protein shot and threw it up. Now anything that has the protein smell makes me gag. I am on Clear Liquids for 7 days. I figure I will do my best to get in as much protein as possible. When I left the hospital I had gained 11 pounds also. But I released it on day three. now I am one pound less than the day I started. Today is my 4th day. The only problem I am having is that every time I drink a sip. After a few seconds. I get this really bad pain in my stomach, then air bubbles float up. I haven't heard anyone wit those symptoms yet.

That seems to happen to me if I take a drink that's too big.

I get the bubbles when I drink too. Sometimes pain across my chest. If I burp it feels better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
