So glad to know that I am not the only one having cravings!! The first thing I thought about after getting home from surgery was steak and mashed potatoes and now 2 1/2 weeks out I am craving mexican food I guess I just thought my cravings for food would just magically disappear after the surgery Glad someone said after a month their cravings went away because sorry but beef broth and refried Beans is not exactly what my tummy is craving but will have to do for now ;P

Makes you wonder if its about money (2 procedures more money or more hoops to jump through) I would like to think its more about your well being but I don't understand why you would have to do 2 procedures unless when they got in there something went horribly wrong and they didn't think it was safe but like I said my surgeon told me that I had a LOT of scar tissue but he still was able to do one procedure and I was in and out of the surgery in about 2 hours

I am not feeling bullied by anyone.... I am neither the OP or the person wanting the PB&J LOL I just read the header of this and thought WOW what question did someone ask that deserved an entire topic devoted to it and to be called stupid to boot just thought it was totally unnecessary and mean . Sorry but are we allowed to have our own opinions on here??? are we allowed to stand up for someone that we feel is being judged a little harshly?? Guess i didn't see that in the rules and regulations if we are not supposed to

and if someone wants to ask about something that you deem as "common sense" you can just scroll right past the post and ignore it !!(imagine that LOL)not start an entire post about how "stupid" someones question is GEEZE and sorry but bullies come in all shapes sizes and AGES. so YES adults are some of the worst bullies out there not just children!! like I said before this is supposed to be a support group for people that are just out of or contemplating surgery and myself being new here, am not seeing a lot of support going on but a lot of judgement.

People should be able to ask whatever the heck they want without judgement from the very people that are supposed to be their support system. If this person wants a PB and J like someone said earlier you could say not your best choice right now but have you thought about something like a PB&J Protein shake or PB&J yogurt but to flat out say someone is "stupid" for asking a question....yes i stand by my response totally uncalled for and yes bully behavior... We are all on this journey together and it is not an easy journey for anyone so putting someone down for asking a question I think is totally uncalled for!! Have a little compassion gets you so much further in life then putting people down!!

because unfortunately it makes some people feel better about themselves to put down or criticize others.... very common behavior among bullies!!

I don't understand the big discrepancy with the pre op diets I had 48 hours clear liquids and nothing after midnight the night before my surgery Those 2 days on liquids was hell for me I can not even imagine doing that for 2 weeks seems like cruel and unusual punishment LOL Anyone have any idea why the big differences from surgeon to surgeon??

I was just revised to the sleeve from the lap band last month and was told from the beginning it would be done as one surgery, I was then told at my pre- op appointment that i might have just the band removed if there were any complications during surgery and be sleeved at a later time, not what i wanted to hear 4 days before surgery but I was trying to prepare myself for that outcome also, but when I came to in recovery that was the first thing I asked the nurse am I sleeved and she said yes!! so I was extremely relieved I was also told later by my surgeon that I had a LOT of scar tissue too so not quite sure why some need to do it with 2 separate surgeries, but I am so thankful it was done as one, I can not imagine having to take that amount of time from work and recovering from 2 surgeries so close together Hope it works out!!
