I have this fear rational or rational fear im not going to lose any more weight...like is just not going to work for me.....am i being crazy?! Im a revision patient band to sleeve....feedback please!

Thank you so much for the response could use the encouragement and appreciate you sharing your experience

Today i had my one month visit with my surgeon since my surgery on May 3rd. My doctor has had me on liquids for the entire month and today i was told i can start eating soft foods. First attempt at it was a spoonful of hummas and a deviled egg....felt horrible after had a feeling of heat come over me felt clammy and had to lay down? Second attempt a few hours later was acheese and that went down good and then a few hours later mushed up avacado and just the deviled egg mixture, felt uncomfortable going down and lots of burping is this normal? Im frustrated. Any suggestion? Ideas on what else i can they to eat.

Thanks all good ideas

Help....Feeling discouraged. 9 days post op very concerned about the lack of protein im getting from being on a liquid diet. Bought some whey protein and tried it twice one with water and once with lowfat organic milk. About 10 minutes after drinking this I got diarrhea both times:( Any suggestions anyone for other protein alternatives that wont make me sick:(

I will try the pills thank you for your suggestions.

is it too soon for me to take pills? I have not tried yet im 9 days post op. All my medicines have been liquid form so far.

its a Protein Powder called Pro Complete 40. It says it has whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, potassium caseinate and egg albumin.

Thanks I will try that:)

My incisions especially the one in my belly button itches like crazy is that normal?

with prilosec you are surposed to open the capsule pour it in Water or on your tongue and then drink water. That is how my doctor and pharmacist told me to take them.

I have some kind of glue/sealent over my incisions is that what is probably making me itch!?

ok well at least important not worried there is something wrong but yes it sucks im so fricken itchy:(

thanks. the doctor used the same incisions i had when i got the lap band and i just don't remember it itching this much.

I am 4 days post op. Had my surgery with doctor Feiz on May 3rd. Looking for others who live close who i can talk to and get support from. Maybe a walking buddy or someone ti exchange clothing with once i like weight. I live in Claremont, ca

Awesome....how are things going 3 weeks in for you? what are you eating/drinking? How do you feel about your decision to get the sleeve?

Hi Tina thanks for your response. It is a small world my mom works at the Joint Science Center at the Claremont Colleges. Just got on this site yesterday....thought it would be nice to talk to people going through the same thing. Im 4 days post op trying not to get overwhelmed about how the next few weeks will be.
