Hi I lost 100 pounds on the band .but now I am at350

Can any one tell me how there cravings are after the operation ?

I am eager to see the results how soon could you get in to a work out routine ?

I was sleeved about 5 weeks ago. I haven't had any cravings yet, but I did deal with a lot of "head hunger" the first two weeks or so (when I was on liquids and full liquids. Now that I am eating soft foods I have much better satiety and haven't had any head hunger at all.

I had a restriction where I could not lift more than a gallon of milk (about 8 lbs.) for a month after surgery. Now that that time has passed, I am back to going to the gym for cardio and strength training. Right after surgery, my doctor encouraged me to walk a lot.

I am having my revision done on Monday. I will have a 10lbs lifting restriction for 6 weeks after surgery. However, I was told that I could do easy walking on the treadmill as soon as I feel up to it. The sooner the better. I'm so excited for this next journey! I wish you luck!

Thank you ..

I was told to get on the elliptical ASAP after surgery can not lift more then 10 pounds

I had the surgery a week ago. In down about 11 pounds. Not dealing with hunger as much as gas pressure. Pain has turned into discomfort. I'm sure by next week I'll be good. Good luck with your surgery!

I am in the waiting room right now just waiting to be called for my 930 am surgery .. Getting excited .. Hoping I can lose the hunger feelings

Well I am 5 days out of surgery : ) all I want to do is sleep .. And no pain meds needed .. I have a dull ache but that's about it ..I had my first bowl movement .. Thought I was a baby again never been so excited for one lmao .. I seem to drink water ok and broth I have no desirer to eat anything nor does my dr want me to eat any thing

I had the revision from the band to the sleeve back in November 2013. I am down 106 pounds since I started this journey of becoming healthy and 74 pounds down since surgery. I can say my cravings came back with a vengeance. I crave sweets like its going outta style. I hate exercising but my exercise routine to begin with was walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes at the speed of 3.0 then upped it every other week. Now I do a boot camp challenge, swim, and walk. 4 days out of the week I do the boot camp challenge for 40 minutes, then the rest of the week I swim for 30 minutes and walk at least 2 miles at work during my lunch hour. Hope the surgery does wonders for you, I can say I am much happier without the band. No regrets so far

Did you eat any sweets before your sleeve ? Or did you follow the dr instructions ?

Before any pre op diets yes I did and was also a huge pop drinker. Now I don't eat any of them and follow my doctors instructions. I had a lot of issues with the band, for one the surgeon who placed my band put it on wrong, and caused me to have major complications with it and left me with some long term effects the the sleeve has helped reversed. Such as acid reflux and ulcers. So I watch what I eat A LOT cause I do not want that coming back ever again.

You follow it!!!!! Your last weigh in give yourself a pat on the back, because you should of lost 20 pounds give or take a few pounds. Then eat your big meal. I ate a footling sub. But that was it. They won't do it if if you don't lose weight before

I followed mine but did not lose any weight gained7 pounds but they still did it .. I was asking to see if people who sugar food before the surgery still craved after or if the ones who followed it have no cravings of surgar .. I am about 5 days out of surgey and just want to drink broth hoping by next week will be on yogurt and protien mix
