4 days post op and already concerned
mlmorgan2006 replied to jgirlnyc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi. I am a lap band revision and also 4 days post op for gastric sleeve as well. I also worry about this. I wish you the best! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app -
I have the lapband. I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet.
-
No. It is a regular protein shake. I didn't have to do a clear diet for my pre op diet. But u did have to do 14 days of the liquid diet.
-
My surgeon and nut recommended that I use Pure Protein. You can buy a large container from Sams for about $20. I used it and was very successful with it. Good luck!

Will we have to low carb for ever?
mlmorgan2006 replied to ladivaluz806's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
My nut tells me to add about 4 bites of carbs to my meal. However, she tells me to eat my protein first, then the vegetable, and then the 4 bites of carbs if I am still hungry. -
What made you finally want Weight Loss Surgery?
mlmorgan2006 replied to AussieSam's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My final straw was that everything was just harder to do. Things that should be simple were hard. There is also the desire to have a baby. -
I had my first fill today. The surgeon was going to put 2-3 cc's in the band. When he put that amount and I had to drink water, the water would not go down. He had to withdraw the fluid until the water went down so I ended up with .5 cc for my first fill. He did however say that that was good because it won't take as long to get to the green zone and that I am responsive to the band. We'll see how the next month goes. I go back in July.
-
My surgeon and nut have me doing clear liquids the day of the fill, the next day I do full liquids and on the 3rd day pureed/soft foods then on day for regular diet unless I can't tolerate it.

Good idea for eating slow?
mlmorgan2006 replied to Butterfly512's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nut told me to take one bite per minutes. She told me to help with this to take a bite, put the fork down and set a watch for a minute. -
One month post op....
mlmorgan2006 replied to AED7942's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations on your success!!! I will be one month post op on Monday. I have lost a total of 34 pounds, and this is including my pre-op diet. However, I was extremely sick the first 5 days after the surgery and couldn't even hold water down. Good luck and best wishes for your success. -
Anybody using a Portion Plate?
mlmorgan2006 replied to abs6angels's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Not me. My nut told me to use a small salad plate or saucer. -
Nausea
mlmorgan2006 replied to Denise Goldacker Garner's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the first and second day after surgery I was on a clear liquid diet. Starting on day three it was full liquids. However, I was sick for about the first 4 days and even vomited the sips of water i was drinking. I think it may have been a mixtyre of the anesthesia, pain medicine, and the air they used during surgery. Good luck with everything.
