suzysunshine123 11 Posted March 23, 2018 I just hit my 50lb mark since surgery 1/23/2018. Exactly two months to date! 80 lbs total since I started the journey from before surgery last 5/22/2017. Kinda hit a stall after one month but am just now getting the right amount of Protein in. Can’t believe it’s been than much but my clothes can!

lovemy2girls 23 Posted March 24, 2018 Lap band conversion to gastric sleeve on 1-23-18. SW 233, CW 199, GW 150, 34# loss so far. Hello there! I’m having a revision aswell, I’m nervous and scared yet excited, how was your recovery? How long did you stay in the hospital? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarynty 3 Posted March 24, 2018 My surgeon required me to stay 2 nights in the hospital. First day was a little painful but certainly not the worst surgery I’ve ever been through. Make sure you get up and walk as much as possible if you’re able to and not too drugged. It prevents blood clots and helps with gas pains. Over all it wasn’t too bad. Just keep on top of the liquids and take your pain pills if needed. It was all totally worth it to get that terrible band out. It was nothing but TROUBLE!! Good luck on your surgery!!![emoji51] 1 teacherlady095 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teacherlady095 17 Posted March 24, 2018 Lap band conversion to gastric sleeve on 1-23-18. SW 233, CW 199, GW 150, 34# loss so far. I’m a revision as well - April 27! Did you get your revision/sleeve in one sitting? That is what my doc plans to do (which I’m happy about because I don’t want to have TWO surgeries!). I HATE my band! So how is the sleeve? A gazillion times better? About the same but without sliming? I seriously can’t wait to get this thing out of my body! 1 lovemy2girls reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the same but without sliming? I seriously can’t wait to get this thing out of my body! I had problems with my band from day one. Sleeve is so much better. Weight loss isn’t as fast as far as I’m concerned but that ok...I’m still losing. No sliming, throwing up, pain etc. Lap band removal/sleeve all in one. 1 lovemy2girls reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t believe it’s been than much but my clothes can! Hw 322 sw 290 cw 240 gw 150 I was sleeved right around the same time and I'm having a horrible time finding things to eat. Meals just don't work out for me so I find myself picking everything. I think what threw me for a loop is a month after surgery the hospital called me and basically told me to not get any Protein or liquid from shakes or artificial protein. I have lost 35 lbs since surgery and 45 since 1/1 and I'm happy but really feel like if I can get an idea of what people are eating I can try to plan my days out better.

EatPrayLove 16 Posted April 1, 2018 Sleeved 1/2. This is the best thing I’ve ever done in life, aside from having my family. But I do find myself picking at things I’m not supposed to and it hits me hard 😩 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
