I was also Jan. 7th. I was a revision band to sleeve. I have lost 31 pounds. I feel great and can eat pretty much everything with no problems.

I was sleeved Jan 7th. I had some complications with the surgery and spent 4 days in ICU. I'm down around 33 lbs. I stalled for about 10 days on week three. I'm feeling great now. I still have some trouble eating Protein sometimes, but it's getting better. Learning to eat slowly is a challenge. I'm making sure to get in 80 grams of protein and my calories seem to average about 750 now. My doctor does not give guidelines for calories or carbs, so I'm at a loss in those departments. He wants us to listen to our bodies. I have been walking a lot but can't seem to push myself much harder than that.

I am sorry to pry, but what type of complications did you have?

When I came back up after surgery, my blood pressure was extremely low. They took me back down to the OR and I had to have a second surgery. They had nicked an artery. After the second surgery, my blood pressure was low again. The were giving me blood transfusions, but the doctor came in and told me I was going to have to have a third surgery. They were going to have to cut me open and possibly need to remove my spleen. I was back in the OR and at the last minute my blood pressure started to come back up. YAY! No surgery was needed. The doctor had ordered a coagulant to go with the blood but it did not arrive at the same time. I picked this doctor because he was at the best hospital in Seattle. You just never know.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
