Iโ€™ve made my chocolate one like smoothie. Not sure if you can add but put in some Peanut Butter Protein Powder that you can definitely have later.

Hi. If anyone is curious I had my surgery Tuesday. As of today Iโ€™m doing well. No need for pain meds. My stomach feels still so bloated though. Like Iโ€™m pregnant! No big issues with my liquids just not that interested. Its like a job to fit everything in. Passing gas is a challenge but walking around is helpful. Any questions feel free to message me. Im more than happy to share any of it if will help! Good luck to those coming up!

Hi @Thea7777! How are you feeling? How bad was the pain in the immediate recovery at the hospital?

Hi! Iโ€™m new here. My surgery is tomorrow, a revision from a 10 year old band to the sleeve. I have to be there at 5:45am. Yikes! I havenโ€™t been nervous but am starting to get really nervous now. I appreciate all of you sharing your stories! Itโ€™s helping to calm me down.

Good luck!!!! You will do amazing!! I had the band to sleeve revision as well and it has been the best thing I've ever done other than having my kids and marrying my husband
Wishing you a safe surgery and speedy recovery!!

Thank you so much, DeeDee! I didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d be so nervous, especially since itโ€™s not my first surgery. Iโ€™m so glad to hear you had the same surgery and it went so well. I want to be healthy for myself, and for my husband and kids, too. Thanks so much for your response!! If you donโ€™t mind my asking, did the port removal incision hurt a lot? My surgeon said it would likely be the most painful aspect.

I honestly didn't feel any different compared to the other incision sites. It was glued and it was not particularly painful. A few pinch here and there but nothing intolerable honestly!!

Hi All,

Revision from band to bypass was this past Friday 9/13. I was in the hospital until Sunday mid morning. Overall I feel ok. Main issue has been pain and bloating at the top of my stomach. Like right below my sternum. Iโ€™ve never really pushed out there much except when I was pregnant and right now Iโ€™m looking about 8 months along. Lol๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Fortunately my incisions havenโ€™t hurt much and liquids are going down very well with no nausea or tummy trouble. Wednesdayโ€™s are my usual weigh on days, but given how bloated I am, Iโ€™m going to wait a few more days, just so I can try and get a somewhat close to actual starting weight.
Hope everyone is doing well!!

      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.
