I am 13 days post op. I have had diarrhea for 11 days. I am barely getting fluids in and am hitting the protein benchmark of 90 grams half of the days. The rest of the time I get at least 45g in. My struggle is, the moment I get something in, it comes out! I’ve been tested, by my primary doctor, for everything...negative. I see my surgeon tomorrow for the first time...has not spoken to me on phone...office staff says, “Just drink your liquids and get your proteins in.” Surgeon’s office days I can’t take anything to slow down system.
Now for numbers:
According to my scale, I was 181lbs when I went in for revision from band to sleeve.
Came home with fluid weight of 186.5lbs.
Have been down to 172lbs I’ve last few post op days.
Woke up this morning and weighed 174.5lbs AFTER using the restroom!
How am I gaining weight when I can’t hold water, let alone protein or even begin my supplements!!!

Dr. Bagshahi
He’s in downtown Ft Worth but did my surgery in Trophy Club. I really liked him and his staff.
I’m in North Fort Worth. Are you nearby?
I’m on my way to see him in about an hour.

I'm in Kennedale, so south side. Are you going to local support meetings?

I haven’t found any but would like to. Do you go to any?

Yes, but I don't think they'd be convenient for you. I usually go to one at USMD (on I-20 in Arlington). It's the 2nd Tuesday of each month (around 6pm?) and open to all. They've got a really good coordinator and usually have excellent speakers and then some meet and greet time. I've gone to one meeting in Mansfield but that one had a really small turnout that day, so I don't know whether it's generally good or not. If you find any good ones, please let me know. I'm open to all the support I can get

Will do! ?
