Hi guys!

I was sleeved almost 2 weeks ago but I had the band removed at the same time.

After a mountain of issues with the band im glad I went for revision surgery and im really happy the doctor agreed to do it at the same time.

The thing is I can't tolerate anything else apart from watered down juice and broth.

I had a go at a bit of custard today but big nope.

I am worried because I am supposed to go on an overseas holiday friday.

Has anyone else needed longer than usual to adjust? Could it be because of the extra strain from the band?

It could be the additional surgical procedure. I had a hard time after the surgery for about a week and then it calmed down. I'm sorry you are having issues. I hope they resolve before your flight on Friday. Did you purposely plan a trip so close to your surgery? You might want to let your surgeon know you are leaving the country and are still having some issues. I would hate for you to get sick in a foreign country. Best of luck.

No the surgery and the trip were not supposed to be together. I'm still in close discussion with the doctor. So hopefully things will sort themselves out

Sometimes dairy and sugar cause issues very early on so things like Protein Shakes custard yogurt and apple sa use. I was like that. I then blended chicken and veg Soup to a thin consistency and that was fine. Obviously you are best to follow your Dr. But just providing and idea it could be your sleeve doesn't like the above I mentioned like mine at first. All the best.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
