1 Week Post Gastric Sleeve Revision



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!! Today makes a week since I had my Revision surgery from lap band to VSG! When I started my weight loss surgery I weighed 250 lbs. The day of my revision I weighed 208.6 lbs. Today one week after surgery I weigh 199.0 lbs!! That means I lost 9.6 lbs on the first week and made it to Onederland!!!! Yay!! I go to see the surgeon Tomorrow and really hope he could take out this drain. I feel so restricted with it!! Anyway, hope everyone has a great week! Stay safe & be healthy

Congratulations on your revision AND making it to Onederland! I was fortunate enough not to require a drain, but I hear people feel a world of difference once it is out.

Don't get worried if your weight loss slows as the first week can be a week of losing all the fluids they pumped in you during your procedure. Soon, you will get to the phase where you are burning fat, but remember it will also burn muscle, so be sure to get as close as you can to your Protein requirements.

Good luck and again, CONGRATS!

      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.
