I just hit my 50lb mark since surgery 1/23/2018. Exactly two months to date! 80 lbs total since I started the journey from before surgery last 5/22/2017. Kinda hit a stall after one month but am just now getting the right amount of Protein in. Can’t believe it’s been than much but my clothes can!

Hello there! I’m having a revision aswell, I’m nervous and scared yet excited, how was your recovery? How long did you stay in the hospital?

My surgeon required me to stay 2 nights in the hospital. First day was a little painful but certainly not the worst surgery I’ve ever been through. Make sure you get up and walk as much as possible if you’re able to and not too drugged. It prevents blood clots and helps with gas pains. Over all it wasn’t too bad. Just keep on top of the liquids and take your pain pills if needed. It was all totally worth it to get that terrible band out. It was nothing but TROUBLE!! Good luck on your surgery!!![emoji51]

I’m a revision as well - April 27! Did you get your revision/sleeve in one sitting? That is what my doc plans to do (which I’m happy about because I don’t want to have TWO surgeries!).

I HATE my band! So how is the sleeve? A gazillion times better? About the same but without sliming? I seriously can’t wait to get this thing out of my body!

I had problems with my band from day one. Sleeve is so much better. Weight loss isn’t as fast as far as I’m concerned but that ok...I’m still losing. No sliming, throwing up, pain etc. Lap band removal/sleeve all in one.

I was sleeved right around the same time and I'm having a horrible time finding things to eat. Meals just don't work out for me so I find myself picking everything. I think what threw me for a loop is a month after surgery the hospital called me and basically told me to not get any Protein or liquid from shakes or artificial protein. I have lost 35 lbs since surgery and 45 since 1/1 and I'm happy but really feel like if I can get an idea of what people are eating I can try to plan my days out better.

Sleeved 1/2. This is the best thing I’ve ever done in life, aside from having my family. But I do find myself picking at things I’m not supposed to and it hits me hard 😩

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
