Good luck! Let's chat afterwards! Getting so excited.

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!

I had good day today.....ate 43 grams of protein

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.

My surgery is on the 27th as well, but I'm going to the OCC in Tijuana

It went perfect, I was up and walking with out any help The one thing that amazed me was I wasnt in near as much pain as I thought I would be I know I had the pump and I did use it but I still thought it would be more painful. While in hospital i didnt eat or drink hardly anything at all. been home 4 days now still not where i need to be as liquids go but I will get there, ive noticed i seem to be increasing by about 8 oz a day so today im shooting for 48 oz i get all my protein within my first 32 oz to make sure i get it all in. I get my tube out on Tuesday and by the way you will or at least I did gain weight due to all the fluids they pump in you I gained 11 pounds while there. ..Good Luck To You!!
