Calorie Counting...

[wheresmyknight3 0]

I've had a bad night. I cooked a great dinner and none of it stayed down. I think the pork I cooked had too much fat in it. Anyway, I log my calories daily. Here's my stupid question, since none of what I ate stayed down, do I still log that food and if so how much of it? :w00t:

I would not think that you would count the calories if you didn't keep it down.

Is this a something that happens frequently for you?

No, thankfully, it doesn't happen often. I decided not to count the calories.

Can I ask why you are having a revision to the sleeve....I am considering it also.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

I am having a revision because I am tired of the band. I am tired of fills and unfills. I was throwing up in my sleep so I had to have a lot of my fill removed. I was too tight and didn't even know it. I hadn't had a fill for a year. Nothing ever got stuck. I never threw up in the daytime. Suddenly at 3am I would wake up choking on vomit.

I keep hearing about complications from people who have had their band for several years. I just want it out. With the sleeve I will have surgery and be done with worrying about restriction.

I have had my band for 2 1/4 years, and I just started having the same issues. Waking up at night choking even though I quit eating at 6:30 pm. I had a slight unfill to try to correct the problem and it worked a little bit, I sure wish I had been given the sleeve as an option to the band.

Good luck !

I am new and looking to get the band this summer. What is this sleive thing? I get nervous about getting this done. Give me some info. Would you do it again? Thanks:thumbup:

I would do it again, I would first find out more information about the gastric sleeve, you can look up the procedure on the website, just to have more options. But I am very happy, I have lost 120 lbs in 2.4 years with very little trouble.

Good Luck
