I am down 50lbs at 3 months post op and really excited about it. However I feel like I may have ate a bit too much at a party this past weekend. I didn't vomit so I might just be thinking this in my head. Can eating too much just one time stretch my sleeve?

U can have hamburger at 2 weeks out??? Yes. 95% ground meat, pork tenderloin, chicken, tuna, fish... My NUT told me as long as I can cut it with a fork I can eat it. I was only able to eat 1/2 burger. I really can't get much down to this day so I'm taking it a little at a time.

Today is my 2 week post op (June 29) and I am now cleared to swim and eat mushies and I am so glad to be able to get protein from other sources than shakes BUT I have felt guilty all day every time I put something in my mouth thinking I am overdoing it. Here is what I had all day: A banana for breakfast, 1 egg scrambled with moz cheese and mushrooms for lunch and 1/2 hamburger patty for dinner (no roll) plus water in between meals. I'm down 25.5 since my pre-op diet (15.5 since surgery). My husband thinks I'm crazy and says I'm doing great. I'm guessing I will get used to eating real food and that guilty feeling will go away.

I felt awful the first 4 days after surgery... A lot of nausea and dizziness. I wasn't prepared for it bc I never had that type of reaction to surgery and thought I'd spring right up. On the 5th day I woke up feeling 100% better. Just rest and once you're feeling better you can become more active. Good luck!

Has anyone ever had to file a short term disability claim through Metlife and, if so, what were the outcomes? I had to get my band removed due to pain and vomiting and I had the sleeve done at the same time. TIA!

What is miso soup?

I actually find the list of what I need to take in a bit overwhelming so I am just gettong as close as I can. I do feel a lot better now than I did this morning and am grateful for that. I think taking my vitamins helped a lot.

I just had surgery on Monday converting from band to sleeve and wish I had done the sleeve from the very beginning. I have heard many stories of band failure and ppl converting to sleeve. I would recommend the sleeve. Good luck either way you go.

@@Ktprimo I am on a multi complete vitamin, vitamin D3, probiotic and biotin in addition to calmag and amino complex mixes.

I also have pain in my head that goes from the neck up but I'm thinking that might be from the way my head was positioned during surgery. I feel like w complete mess. Haha. But I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

I had surgery on June 29th. I had horrible nausea and dry heaving immediately when I woke up in the recovery room and they kept pumping me with meds but nothing seemed to work. Next thing I remember I was in my room and still had nausea. I did get up and walk a few times that night and that made me feel a lot better. I came home on Tuesday and have had a real tough time getting in enough liquids. I constantly feel dizzy and even a slight blurry in vision and have to sit and rest after being up for awhile. This was my 7th surgery in 10 years (csections, gall bladder, lap band) and I never felt this bad this long after surgeries. Feeling disgusted. Just want to get in what I need to and have more energy to be active.

I'm June 29th. Good luck everyone!

I'm getting surgery on Monday and so hope to be able to add these type of numbers to this thread in a few months! ????

Hi! Who was your STD insurance company?

Sounds good!

How were you able to get it covered by insurance?

@justintime- my lap band dr won't do it in one surgery either but his another dr in his group will so I switched to him. Maybe check around for another dr you would trust.

@@johnny207 I'm scheduled for the 29th as well. On day 3 of pre-op diet and down 7.4 lbs already. Can't wait to do this!

@@leag78 what operation did you have?

Lap band to sleeve surgery scheduled for June 29th. Excited!

I have Metlife for STD and will be getting band to sleeve in a few weeks and hoping to use STD while out of work. Can you tell me what the outcome was and if you were eventually approved?
