I am about 12 days out now. So far I am on the same gerd meds as before and feeling fine b -
Full with band vs full with sleeve.
Bndtoslv replied to Bndtoslv's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I understand this and have been doing this but I think it would be helpful to know what it feels like if you misjudge! To prevent it from happening if possible! -
I pulled something! I was just getting back into things I'm so bummed and no Advil. What should I do?

I was literally in tears
Bndtoslv replied to anna0322's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Isn't it great!? I'm also down quite a bit at about 10 days. Crazy. I'm only recording once a week though do I don't get discouraged with fluctuations. Good luck! -
I'm allowed up to 16oz if surgery immediately post op. Had my first today. In fact my nut suggested mixing protein powder into iced coffee.

I feel fine. On purred since Tuesday. Only time I know I've had surgery is when I'm approaching 3-4oz range with my puréed food then I feel nauseas. Not fun. I recommend refried beans, shelly's baked ricotta and puréed turkey chili. I thin everything with fat free sour cream.

I am 9 days too and I have yogurt every day.

Band to Sleeve lose more slowly?
Bndtoslv replied to Tazwella's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's what I was saying.... Compared to non-banders I think we lose slower. But right now, I'd love to lose anything! I think we just have to take what we have. I'm sure there are many factors contributing to success for former band patients. -

I don't think 30lbs in 2 months is slow. I would be very happy with that. -

Bndtoslv replied to Tazwella's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've lost 12lbs in one week does that help? -
So I'm 8 days out and my plan calls for puree. I've had refried beans, baked ricotta and tonight about 1 oz of mashed up baked tilapia. No problems. I've also had no problems getting my fluids in. I feel like I should be grateful but I'm almost concerned that it's too easy! Far easier than my lab band food phase in. Can anyone relate?

What does it feel like to have the sleeve v. band?
Bndtoslv replied to buttercup06's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been measuring my food. What does it feel like when you need to stop? -
I was planning to go back next week (I'll be 2 weeks out) but I'm so tired and have no stamina don't know how I can do that.
-
I have to say I do know something happened because of the nausea that occurs sometimes.
-
No problem! Please let me know how it goes! I was surprised it was so easy, granted I was super cautious and only ate a bit weighing and measuring everything!

The risk of leaks is 2x as high in revision patients. 2 separate procedures minimizes that risk. -
I'm 6 days out and nausea mostly gone. Been going fine with soups and liquids. Tonight I made chicken soup for my kids and took a mug of broth for myself to drink. I may have gone too fast or maybe it had a little fat in it but I feel awful now. Does this make sense to anyone? What can I do?

Nausea from eating question

Ha after I wrote this I burped and feel a bit better. My kids were very amused. -
Gastric Sleeve Surgery went Great!
Bndtoslv replied to lisaluvsgreys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm the same. It's great that we can drink. Starting purred tomorrow -
So I am 5 days out. Aside from no appetite I've been fine and getting fluid/soup in ok. Today I blended and strained some black bean soup then added milk. After a few spoonfuls I got a weird pain in my shoulder and EAR. Weird right? Is this referred pain?

I have been getting under 500 since 6/30. I'm not sure how to get more in on this diet.

4 days post op. Pain at top of sternum
Bndtoslv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is this normal? Feel it when is breath deep and eat. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. -
I had surgery Tuesday so I have no idea how to set a goal but I guess I'd like to be 229? That would mean about 28 loss in 2 months.
