Just had mine on December 14th :)

Lapband revision to gastric bypass on 12-14-2016

Weight day of surgery: 308.2 lbs

Current weight: 300.8

Total weight loss: 7.4 lbs

I was the 15th. Weight fully clothed morning of surgery, my weight was 257. It was 255 naked at home, so I'd say that's pretty accurate. My discharge notes have me at 268, but the nurse said she thought the bed was off. I haven't weighed since I got home last night. I'd love to keep in touch!

Monday Dec 12-lapband to rny. #260. Home Wednesday 14th. It's Sunday 18th & I'm still taking it easy. Thinking the repairs that had to be done caused the most pain. I'm not good at being slowed down. I've dose in half but pain meds still knock me out. But everyday is better. I'm up & around, just not out of the house yet. But it's ice & cold here so I'm enjoying christmas movies. I'm from IN.

Is anyone else having that strange dizzy/lightheaded/foggybrained feeling after surgery? I can't seem to shake it

I had a BP drop this morning and passed out. This isn't completely foreign to me as I tend to have low BP anyway and losing weight makes it worse. That's why I had originally chosen band... hope you can shake this soon.

      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.
