Meatballs are a great idea most Italian places you can get them on the side

I am 25 days post op and I am really having the blues I am a LVN at a nursing home so doc have me 4 weeks off I go back on Thursday I think that may have something to do with it have all this spare time and nothing to do with not too mention its hailing in SoCal today what are te odds so my daily walk through the park is a no I feel real lonely I've been texting and calling my friends I feel like they are avoiding me makes me sad but they are putting post of themselves out to eat and stuff been a huge adjustment for me anyone else have the blues ? I guess going through all of this has really opened my eyes on the support that I thought I had I guess my friends aren't as supportive as I thought makes me want to cry Sorry that's the end of my rant

Thank you all for sharing it really does help makes me feel like I'm not doing this alone and that I do have support out there just looking In the wrong spot

Dr mun at harbor city was terrific he was always great with my family and keeping them updated if harbor city is where kaiser has their bariatric program I live in Orange County and that's where they sent me I had a lapband and so sick of it I was looking to get it removed went to my consult and dr mun offered the remove and give the sleeve all at once after two docs told me kaiser doesbt do that he really gave me hope i never went through the 12 week options program he was open and honest with me he is always very strict tells you up front if you don't follow the rules then I won't operate on you and one of the girls I work with had him she didn't follow the pre op diet and barely lost any weight so he refused to operate on her he is really good I think it shows he really wants to help change people's lives

When I had the lapband my hair started to fall out i took biotin it's not a miracle worker but it helps still take to his day it's great for your skin and nail too I'm polish had beautiful thick hair still have lots of hair but not like how it used to be

I was sleeved on 2/12 and I've noticed that after I swallow purée food because that's the stage I'm on now I feel like a cramp I guess that's the best way to describe it but it feels like its at the bottom of my stomach I thought I was eating to fast but I've been timing my bites and using baby spoons until I get the hang of it I've been waiting a min of two minutes between bits I'm worried I have a leak or stricture for those of you who have had these problems what were your signs and symptoms ? What made you thinks something was wrong? When I had a lapband my port flipped and had band slippage and my symptoms were different from what my doc said and what I researched so I would love to hear from others experiences

I was sleeved on 2/12 and I felt exactly the same way !!!!!!! I could not get comfortable I prayed that I wouldn't sneeze barely slept and just had absolutely no appetite wasn't even intrested in drinking water I remember crying and tellin both my mom and dad I regretted it and kept saying what did I get myself into my turn around day was day 12 it gets so much better I promise!!! Makes me sad you feel this way and I know the feeling all too well best wishes !!!

I think it's a good thing you recognize that you are sneaking back into your bad habits the hardest part is admitting it you know what you need to do it just needs to be immplemented. You can do it !!

Yeah all the docs are different I was out on clear liquids but with premier protein shakes until my first post op appointment with my doc and the. Went straight to purée but I think it's important to follow my docs plan since he is the one treating me but I love reading everyone else's experiences

Ay suggestions what do you prefer and where do u get it ? And what do u prefer to put it in ?

I purée soups, cottage cheese is amazing, puréed any meat with thinned gravy made mashed potatoes instead of butter I used plain greek yogurt thinned then out pretty good someone on vst reccomended to purée lite tortilla soup with mashed avocado that was yummy the purée food may look gross but it's good better then clear liquids I don't take much in so a majority of my intake is protein shakes I have a lot of leftovers in my freezer lol

I was sleeved on 2/12 and u have the same problem I think it because I am used to sleeping on my tummy and u just can't do that right now have a hard time getting into that comfy position. I have no problem naping because I am tired by that time

10 lbs in 2.5 weeks ?!! Psssh that is rapid weight loss !! Good job !!!!! My surgeon says to go for 2 lbs a weeks so I think you are doing great !

I feel ya on that one Susie I was the same way !!

I am exactly 14 days out did clear liquids first 11 days then doc cleared me for purée been doing ok have no appetite off of work until mid march evade I do heavy lifting at my job boredem is starting to kick in been walking to alot to take up the time what were you eating and doing 14 days out would love suggestions also I tried cream of wheat wasn't really liking it too much any suggesting what to add to it ?

I know it's so weird to see when people start certain stages all so different I couldn't wait until I ate purée I was counting down the days too when I was doing clear liquids and now that I am there I still am mostly getting liquids in lol

Omg I am so purée tortilla soup tonight with mashed avocado that sounds yummy cottage cheese as been my main go to thing thanks for the suggestions

I was sleeved on 2/12 when I was on clear liquids I was starving !!! I started purée 3 days ago and I have absolutely no appetite what so ever when I wake up I feel like I may be hungry and the I take my Pepcid and the hunger goes away I'm finding it hard to get my protein and liquids in ask your doc no such thing as a stupid question

So I was sleeved 7 days ago and 4 weeks prior did liquids so I'm 5 weeks liquids my doc appointment is Friday and said I would prolly start purée then my doc has a different diet plan no full liquids right now except protein shakes and I just started feeling hungry yesterday I've had to force myself to eat just for the nutrition so in excited for purée stage any suggestions would love to hear them

So glad u posted this I was sleeved on the 12tj and been having the same thing and my sips are pretty small already and space out good I think it freaks me out too

I was revised from lap band to sleeve on the 12th so I'm 6 days post op been having a hard time getting in liquids at times I feel a weird sensation when sipping liquids not painful just a sensation that's new to me almost like a cramp I guess. with the lapband I was hungry right away and struggled with the stages of food I haven't started to feel hungry until today infact my mom has literally been forcing fluids on me I'm only getting about half of the required fluids that I need don't feel too weak considering im still sore and recovering been a couple times I thought to myself why did I do this and then I snap out of it because I know this was the best decision for me is there anyone else out there having a hard time and if so what did u do to make it better? And at 6 days what are u eating ?

I love my cardio and I contribute it to the weight I have lost with the band it's a huge help I don't like that I'm only gonn beable to walk for awhile after surgery how long before anybody you were on the elliptical ?

Yeah I am really freaking out I have to leave my house in like 4 hours and I know I won't sleep too many emotions hoping on. Would of been 5 years for me in march with the band I'm just excited to get it out so I don't feel that stupid port anymore so happy for you that u have such a positive out look and happy with your decision I hope I am the same in about 7 hours from now

Wow that is a very Positive way of looking at it !! I love it !! Glad u are well and I guess as far as the pain goes that's why u have the meds right ? Hope u have a very speedy recovery would love to see your progress since our dates are so close together

How does the pain compare to the band I'm getting my revision tomorrow all in one like u the worst part I think is the port can't wait to not feel it. I'm scared of the pain after surgery
