I am so happy to report that diarrhea is going away.. Also I have absolutely no appetite! Hooray!!

I just got sleeved on April 18th and I have it daily.

I feel like I have no restriction just with liquids. I can eat pudding soup (1/2c) yogurt yogurt pops.. I'm kinda worried that it doesn't hurt

Hi everyone Is it unusual to be super gassy and bloated on my left side? Thanks!

CONGRATS !! You look great!

Thanks for letting me know that maybe I'm getting too much Protein and not enough activity. I mix I scoop of unjury chocolate and 11/2 c of Water. I also add PB2 1 ltablespoon . I mix in a cup that has a steel ball in it to mix it well. I also ate one of those cups of instant ramen. I also ate sugar free pudding. I had my surgery April 18 and weight day of surgery 186.. Today 179. It seems like everything goes right through me(diarrhea ). I feel full but not to the point of throwing up. Today I hate 1000 calories which is a lot. I think I'm bored sitting at home. Hope I'm not in trouble or doing the wrong thing. I am open advise and suggestions. I did go for 30 minute walk. Thanks everyone!!

Super!! You look great! Congrats

Congrats! You look great!

Sorry to hear. I have nausea pills that the doc gave me to take proactively. Do you think maybe Prilosec or nexium would help? Fingers crossed for you!

Had my sleeve on the 18th of April . I'm trying to do 3 protein shakes a day. Trying to drink slowly. Cheated and had 2 yogurts. Small stony fields yogurt . Also had the broth and a tablespoon of ramen noodles. My tummy just rumbles and makes crazy noises. I'm using a heating pad cause my left side feels a little sore. So do I continue protein shakes and clear liquids this week? Still have diarrhea , but only at night. I'm starting to think that the yogurt is giving me the diarrhea . I'll weigh in tomorrow . I'm sorry that some people have nausea. I was given zofran and I never got sick. I hope everyone feels better!

I watched him take the juvederm out of the package with the lot numbers from allergen the manufacturer. I've had Botox countless time in US and they never tested me. Oh Dr. So is at OCC. obesity control center where dr Arial Ortiz is. You don't want someone without a lot of skill to ever put put Botox around the mouth .. That's my only caution.

I had a soft lift with Dr. So 4 days after I got a sleeve revision. I got Botox on forehead sides of brows crows feet and absorbable juvederm(comes with lidacaine ) in marionette lines ans nasal labia folds for 475.00. It just got home and my friend says wow your skin looks really good. I wanted to see if she would notice... Now she wants to go to Mexico ... Haha

McKee does it matter what you eat? That seems like a lot to deal with 5 months out..I hope it goes away when I can eat more solids

Thank you fabulous I'm just getting a little worried. I've been drinking and eating a little yogurt. I also put my protein powder in a small iced coffee at 6am with no problem. I also had jello and Gatorade and ice pops

I just had my surgery with dr Ortiz on Thursday . My weight is 185 and BMI of 31. I had a lap and since 2005 that did me no good. So I just completed the revision. I'm drinking apple juice and water this am. Last night ate chicken broth and Popsicle . I have no hunger. I'm feeling a little gassy but that's it. I'm crushing my pills.. Levaquin( antibiotic ) nexium, zofran (nausea) and I take sublingual pain med..my drain is still in and prolly will stay for a few more days .. I will leave here wed morning after the leak test...

I am having ice chips now and then tomorrow hot tea

Congrats and good luck!' Po

Congrats and thank you for letting us know what to expect down the road it's soo helpful for a newbie like me.

Thank you for all your help.. I called my person and she said don't worry.. No more food.. Drink water and tea..since my BMI is low., its not like ina huge high risk.. They just don't want any inflammation around band..

I'm here in Mexico an was starving .. I ate tortilla and ques0... I might have really screwed things up.. So scared that they won't do revision now

April 18 for me. Leaving for San Diego in a few hours for revision from lap band to sleeve. In mexico with Dr. ortiz...Soooooo nervous

Hi Everyone I'm scheduled to have revision April 18 in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz . I haven't had any success with the band and I've had it since 2004. Latest issue is esophageal dilation due to band being to tight when there is only .25cc in it. Last time I had a sweet spot was 2005. I also have gerd and have been on nexium for 5+years. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am 5'7'".. And 186 lbs. my goal is 139. I'm hoping that this will be the answer. I'm so scared because I thought the lap band was the answer too. My bariatric surgeon recommends bypass because of GERD. That's just crazy..I can't do that. That's why the sleeve is attractive to me. Cigna will pay for non emergent surgeries outside of the US.. So my hope is that they will cover the expense considering hx of complications w lap band. Thanks for listening . Everyone on this site is helpful.. I am open to hearing everyone's opinions
