Thanks for the reply mlola When did you have your revision? Did the hunger ever subside? Sometimes i think that low glucose feeling is from my body not being able to absorb nutrients from food' date=' since eating doesnt really seem to help. I am hoping that is temporary as my body adjusts... I just dont know. I certainly dont want to be sipping apple juice for the rest of my life. My teeth will fall out of my head lol [/quote']

I don't know that I will be of any help at all with this because I don't have any hunger pains at all!!! And I mean none! I have to force feed myself every meal and snacks! I wasn't hungry at all with the sleeve either.

That being said, I do have the low sugar feeling sometimes I think...although I'm not entirely sure on that either...I sometimes wonder if its just low potassium since I know for a fact that I have that from lab work...either way it's a dizzy, faint feeling where I feel like I need to eat something or drink something like apple juice...

My revision was exactly 3 weeks ago actually. August 31st. Are you eating foods high in carbs? I'm sticking to low carb high Protein purees and noticed that I'm not getting the glucose highs and lows anymore. That might help you. Also, I limit my Protein drinks as I noticed those were giving me symptoms of dumping, which might mean they are high in sugar and carbs. I stopped taking the shakes for a week, but will try again when I hit 4 weeks because I need the Protein.

Rather than apply juice, why not just try crystal light? Its sugar free but still sweet. I sometimes add it to my Water just to give a hint of flavour.

Hi everyone,

I've been at the hospital (admitted through ER) since Friday night. I was close to being dehydrated, constipated, nausea, dry heaving and I had stomach pains. My surgeon has me NPO due to the dry heaving and he's taking me into the OR in an hour to fix whatever's wrong (possibly narrowing in lower part of my stomach and intestines -- per CT Scan).

Pray for me! Maybe surgery #4 will be the one... (sigh)

Well....I'm afraid its the sugar in the apple juice that is keeping me going. My brain seems to just shut down without it. I haven't had any today though... just one Protein shake and an egg so far and I seem to be doing okay... maybe it was just a passing thing... fingers crossed.

I had band to rny done on 9/9. Other than some pain issues recovery is going well. Am finally feeling like eating a little! I get soft foods starting tomorrow (cottage cheese, eggs etc). Now is where I am going to have to practice Portion Control. It will seem strange to have a couple ounces of something and then stop!

The problems I had with the band was with my esophagus. food would sit there and not go down very easily. I lost about 70 lbs the 1st year and then slowly gained about 45 lbs over two years. With all of the adding Fluid and taking fluid out I think the band just got really irritated, and I couldn't eat anything of substance! I drank a lot of Protein Drinks and Soups. Anyways, very grateful I got this chance and am excited to move forward!

I am 6 weeks out today and I am just now starting to lose weight again...I haven't lost a pound in 3 weeks, but to be completely honest I didn't want to. I was one of those who had the sleeve to bypass revision at goal weight. Since then I'm down to 130 and I'm 46 years old. I didn't want to lose anymore weight anyway so I'm afraid to go back into the weight losing mode now.

Be patient...the weight will start coming off, from what I've read thru posts and online, it's a stall and the weight loss will prevail.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
