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!

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?

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]

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!

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.

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.

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 😩

      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.
