feb 3 band removed and got sleeved



Recommended Posts

On Feb 3 I had my band removed and had the sleeve.I was a success with the band but I slipped twicw and was getting sick.Ok so in a nutshell when they removed all my Fluid a month and half before my surgery I gained almost 30 pounds.I was at time of surgery 173.I was able to get approved as a conversion due to my complications.So here is my dliema..Since surgery I only have lost 13 pounds.The scale has not moved in two weeks.I drink a Protein Shake (optifast ) for Breakfast and lunch with a Jello and maybe a pieve of laughing cow cheese.For dinner I ate 3.5 oz. of cottage cheese and all my Water I drink during the day..Any help would be greatly appreciated..Sometimes im just wanting my band back :(

The amount of weight loss after Gastric surgery depends on many points..like diet ,exercise, and many more.

May be you should contact to surgeon, they will guide you more good..

      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.
