I've been prescribed Tylenol with codeine liquid, I don't really like taking pain meds but I have no choice. I'm walking pretty good, I'm getting some Fluid down, between this Isopure, Popsicles and Water, I should stay pretty hydrated. I'm not hungry at all. Sorry, this post is all over the place but I'm trying to cover everything. Doctor says that he was able to do a good sleeve although I had a lot of scar tissue, he said mine was the worst he's ever seen. I'm happy that I got that band out of me, I just want to be extra successful with the sleeve. I'll check back in a little later.

Glad you are doing okay. Has the pain from last night improved?

That's crazy about the scarring from your band. Hopefully it won't hinder the success of your sleeve. Why did you end up having the band removed initially?

Congrats on your band out and sleeve in :) How long was the surgery? I will have my band out and sleeve done on the 8th of September. I am scared a bit that the scaring is bad too. For how long have you had your band?

Well I hope your pain will be gone soon !!!

Keep us posted!

I'm sorry for the late reply. I had my band since April 2010, the surgery took 3.5 hours, he said mine was the longest and most complex revision. However, he says I still got a beautiful sleeve. Lol

Hello sorry for the late reply. I'm hoping not too, but I seem to be losing a pound a day, I know that will slow down. I had the band removed because of the reflux, regurgi issues on a daily basis. The pain has improved, I haven't needed anymore pain meds since Friday and my surgery was Wednesday morning. I'm trying to get my energy level back, I've been walking and walking trying to get rid of the mild gas too.

So glad you are doing well. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I will have my surgery on the 19th. I am trying not to worry, but I won't lie it's a bit scary. I just want to do well. I was banded Nov. 2008, and it seems that I could never get it together. I am believing that this is my time and season. I would love to continue to hear from you. Lord knows I need the encouragement.

Hello You're welcome. Good luck to you, I'm almost feeling 100 now. I went to work last night and I felt great. I'm now at 21 lb weight loss since preop, aug 6th, I'm hoping to lose much more.

      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.
