Had my band to sleeve revision almost 9 weeks ago, was at a party last night and passed out. I had one small drink, turns out I was severely dehydrated. I swear I thought I was drinking enough during the day, I guess not. My urine was brown. Fluids are so important even further out u go. I gotta be more careful. Just want to remind people, if you aren't eating, you need to be drinking!

I'm almost 6 weeks out and I've ha zero issues, not that I'm complaining at all. I've had spicy, dairy sometimes is iffy, but I've even had a drink and nothing. Sometimes for my own sake I wish certain things bothered me for my own good. I'm very thankful that I've had no issues, other than doing a lot if head work

I've had one hell of a few weeks, today I'm having a little vodka cranberry. (Sigh) I hope I'm not messing things up

When does the risk for a leak go way down? Monday is 5 weeks out for me. No issues, no nothing, other than just a little food at a time! I'm being paranoid, I know, sometimes I cannot help but read the complications forum. I feel great, energy is good. S I can't complain, I just want to be in the clear.

Went out tonight for the first time since surgery, 11/26. Had a small vodka cranberry and now Feeling like it was too soon. I barely got a buzz. Lol. I know some docs ok a small glass at like 4 weeks out. Nothing has really bothered my sleeve, not spicy, nothing. Ugh, anyone else have a drink this soon out?

It felt fine! Lol, too good! I had a rum and coke or a glass or two of wine daily. This was a treat! The only thing I'm noticing is if I'm gng to drink anything, ( water, g2, etc) I have to time it right, bc I need my protein, so it's all in balance. This is my second WLS, had the band for 4 yrs. this isn't my first rodeo, but this is a good rodeo compared to the band!

I used to drink everyday! This has been an adjustment! I guess I feel that one or two every couple months isn't gng to kill me! I just don't want it to be too soon!

Enigma! It does get better I promise! I'm 5 weeks out and I wanted to punch everyone in the throat that told me that " it will get better " but now at 5 weeks out I can tell u that it does! I had plenty of wtf moments and started replacing food with my pain meds and had to shut that off real quick! If u ever want chat please feel free!

Questions for some post op VSG, I'm almost 5 weeks out and every time I bend over, like tonight in the movies in my seat, I get this kinda intense burning in my stomach. It def feels muscular, or tissue related, but hoping I didn't do something? It almost feels like I'm being stabbed slowly, lol, sorry only way i can describe it, and I have to sit up quick. Is this just healing?

Liz, How far out did u discover the leak? I'm so glad u are doing better!

Is this something that happens to just post op sleevers? Or can happen to anyone? What the heck is it?

This is what support group told me tonight led by our NUT. If we as sleevers drink, everything pass our stomach will become necrotic. You mean to tell me that a glass of wine here and there is gng to KILL me? I know a lot of surgeons release their patient to drink in small moderation at like 3-4 months. What gives? What are ur thoughts?

And that he did! Thank god I live in CA where it's legal!

How long out from surgery are u pretty much in the clear? I'll be 4 weeks post op Monday, I've had no problems, and I'm on soft foods. Everyone seems to be coming down with a stomach bug and it freaks me out! Am I far enough it to not be worried anymore?

Surgery is Monday and I have yet to find one I can stomach. Tried pure protein from Costco, syntha 6, too sweet, muscle milk light. Is isopure a good one? And what about the unflavored unjury powder to put in broth etc, I'm getting nervous I won't find anything!

Hey all! I'm 3 weeks post op today, from band to sleeve revision. I really did not work on my bad habits of drinking alcohol before surgery. Now at 3 weeks out, I'm feeling great, and I'm dying for a glass of wine. Since I can't have wine, then I'm grabbing a piece of dark choc. If I don't have that I'm reaching for my leftover pain meds. I'm feel like I'm controlling these urges but they are coming on stronger. This is only at night too, that was my nightly routine, after 5, glass of wine. I have a very addictive personality obviously, and I'm worried. I don't want to talk about this to my surgeon bc I already feel like she looks at me as a failure bc of the Lapland. I'm sorry for rambling or if this is even making sense. It's so hard to not fall back into old routines when you start feeling back to normal.

I knew I was at a higher risk, I'm 3 weeks out and no problems yet. The longer I get out from surgery that safer I am? Reading these complications is scary

I def get an empty pit feeling when I'm hungry. But I just ate and I kinda have that feeling now so I don't know. I'm also band to sleeve revision, 11/26. This is a lot different than the band huh?

I'm in Cali! 3 weeks post op!

Was revised 11-26, from day 1 I've had diarrhea. I was concerned I had something, so I went in and all checks out besides a UTI. They ended up advancing my diet to soft foods bc of the runs. And what do u know they stopped. But for the life of me I CANNOT drink protein drinks. They immediately make me feel nauseous, cramps, bloating, and I'm running to the bathroom. I also have no gallbladder so stuff tends to run through even preop. If I can only eat barely 2T of like eggs, or turkey, and cannot supplement with protein drinks, how the heck is my body gng to get in enough? I guess maybe over time my sleeve will be bigger? Anyone else have this issue with the drinks?

I've only been mixing with water!

They left this weird filmy crap in my mouth. So u feel that?

Smells like someone crawled in your mouth and took a crap? Yep...that's ketosis!
