I am almost 5 days post op and feeling great. Tolerating a full liquid diet. Want some mashed potatoes now! Should I wait for my post op visit on the 11th before I advance my diet any further?

I'm sorry but can I ask How does your stomach feel does it feel different I asked this question because I'm debating between the sleeve Or the lapband And I have a low tolerance to pain :(

I was not sure what surgery to have either. Do as much research as you can. I am getting sleeved Monday. Sounds like they are taking out more bands than they are putting in now.

I had sleeve.... I wouldn't dare get lap band. Stomach feels great. I do not feel like I even had surgery. The worst pain was day after surgery.... you get stomach spasms but meds help a lot. Too many problems with the Lap Bands... slippage, erosion, poor outcomes etc. I never was interested in getting banded.

no prob... when you meet with the surgeon tell him your concerns and ask if he/she is generous with administering local anesthesia during surgery. Make it clear you will need the best pain control post op available to you. I had Tylenol IV x 4 doses with Dilaudid IV push for breakthrough. I was very happy with that. Make sure he/she sends you home with something like Lortab Elixir (good sh#t).

I had the gastric sleeve on Monday . . . . everything went great. I originally was looking into lap band but due to autoimmune disease the drs discouraged it and also told me I made the right decision because they're having lots of "issues" with the LapBand. I think the sleeve is the way to go!

I was sleeved on Feb. 3rd also, can't believe it will be a week already! Day 2 was the worst, nausea and vomiting was bad, but feeling so much better now! I am getting in my fluids no problem, just feeling gassy and bloated, but not in pain.

Sleeved on 2/4 and feeling really good. I have a hematoma above my large incision causing pain but otherwise good.No nausea or vomiting, sipping well. I am not hungry at all! I've been staying with my parents the last few days and they've been eating hoagies cheesesteaks, donoughts, etc and I'm not even interested. I haven't had a bowl movement but am passing gas. I'm down 16 lbs since I started my 3 day pre-diet on 2/1. I'm 5'9' starting weight was 252. This week is Clear liquids for me , so I've been drinking Propel, Water, tea with honey, Jello, and broth. I'm drinking The Original Protein XL shot 28 grams. It's really good. Next week will be full liquids like pudding, yogurt, Protein shakes, etc. I'm really excited!

I'm also a week out tomorrow.

I'm ok, just extremely fatigued. Very much needing calories, nutrition, some Vitamins, and energy. I want real food so much.

Even though I don't see my doctor for a follow up until later next week, it's been just about 7 days so today I decided to try and switch over from my Clear Liquids to full liquids and get a Protein shake into my system. OMG. I was only able to get less than two ounces in, and immediately following I felt pretty damn awful. It almost felt like "dumping" has been described here.

So that is very disconcerting to me. I need nutrition badly. Has anyone else felt this way? The OP of this post moved on to foods so quickly. That is just unbelievable to me. I wish I could!

I was sleeved on jan 29. I'm DYING for some real food too. I'm being told it's way dangerous to do it though.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
