Hi there, doing this off my phone and not sure if I'm posting properly. I'm on day 2 post-op and feeling pretty good. A bit sore and tender but nothing serious. I had quite a bit of back pain last night but a Tramadol helped immensely. This morning I get my drain out then it's off to the Mariott for one more night and we fly back to Canada tomorrow. Surgery isn't fun, but I look forward to the weight loss!

Hi All: My surgery was last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm on my 6 day post-op. I am feeling so much better. Stomach is healing nicely. My followup with my surgeon is Wednesday. I was in pain for 3 days then i started feeling better. I was lucky my doctor put me on soft/purée foods when I left the hospital because I had no problem drinking or keeping food down. So far I'm down 17 pounds since the surgery that also include the two week pre-op diet. My biggest problem is drinking enough Water. I never been a big Water drinker before the surgery. Now he want me to drink at least 64oz everyday to keep hydrated. I'm trying its tough.

I want to wish everyone luck who is having surgery this week. The first few days after surgery is rough but it does get better each day.

Had band to sleeve revision on May 4. I'm 14 days out. First day off liquids and on puréed foods. Doing great!

Want2surf,

I had band to sleeve revision also on same day that you did. If you don't mind me asking, how different did you find this surgery from the lapband? Of course, the port removal was a bit more painful, but, just curious overall how did the surgery recovery, diet, etc. differ for you.

I started the pureed stuff today and I hurt a little bit when I had scrambled eggs. I think the mistake I made was that the scrambled eggs were on the dry side. I also made a huge mistake and tried 1/4 cup of sugar free ice cream and I think I know what dumping syndrome is all about - won't do that again!! jake

      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.
