Band to sleeve revision slower weight loss?
msfitn2014 replied to sma102205's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am 6 weeks out, I have not had any complications, Im down 25 pounds since surgery. I felt normal on day 3 only a lil sore and a lil tired. The first 3 weeks i was never hungry, I do get hungry once a day and I am not sure if im hungry or is it because Im now at work and everyone else is hungry and eating lunch One of my biggest issue is and have been getting 64 oz of liquids in. I get full and tired from sipping all day.I have dropped one size and can now fit in size 14. I dont get the stuck feeling and typically Im full after a few bites. My other big issue is the running to the ladies room....ughhhh can eat soft food, liquids and and maybe 2hrs sometime 4hrs later I HAVE to go the ladies room. I dont like to eat out because of that unless we eat out and are close to home. Other than that, I love my new sleeve and 4 of my 5 incisions are almost gone...I too hung around and read people like Cowgirl Jane post and was inspired by her honesty and experience so I did my research and chose the sleeve. Good luck -
OMG Really @@skinnygirlwithin, did they say why or what caused it?

They are pills that help with sooooo many things and hair thinning is one of them...google msm pills an you will read great info on them, they are found at walgreens and cvs

I would suggest a high dosage of biotin and some msm pills....

msfitn2014 replied to Rebellious Butterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cant stop pooping!! Im almost 5 weeks out!! Poop 1-2 times a day everyday ;( Good luck i hope you poop soon!! -
I drink G2 gatorade everyday, I buy the 16.9oz and drink 1/2 of it everyday, maybe you can add a sugar free drop in to give it some flavor. I didnt like it at first but I have been drinking them everyday since surgery.
-
I am 4 weeks and a few days post op and I eat solid food, I have been getting the bubble guts almost everyday.......OMG, I wish it wasn't me!! Some mornings I can drink my protein shake and be just fine and then some mornings I drink my shake and a hr later I gotta use it bad.....I don't know what triggers it cause even with food, it happens..Im hoping and praying that my body has just got to get used to it and it stops soon....I take wipes, panties and extra clothes with me everyday in a overnight bag just in case, because I do not want an accident. Good luck
