Update: Band to Sleeve Revision-Wk 1 Post Op

Jul 07, 2012

Hey Everyone,

I had my band to sleeve revision last Wednesday 6/27 weighing in at 301 which is a 51 pound gain from the lowest weight I ever was with the band. I was released from the hospital late evening Friday 6/29. I had a few rough nights once I got home, Sunday was the worst day out of them all. I hadn't had a BM since the morning before surgery and then Sunday, I felt like I was going to die all day. Everything was making me go to the bathroom, it was just pouring out of me..and then my period came also..it was a mess..sorry I know TMI.
I had my follow up appt with my surgeon yesterday 7/6 and weighed in at 292!! So that is a 9 lb loss for the first week. I officially have 33 lbs to go to get back down to the lowest weight I saw with the band. My goal is to hit that goal by October 11th which I when I see my surgeon again.
I think this is doable.
As far as food goes, I've been having a protein shake for breakfast, sf pudding, carbmaster yogurt, and creamed soups throughout the day. I have been getting around 67.6 oz of water in everyday. I'm currently taking a chewable multivitamin, dissolvable B-12 and 2 calcium citrate pills, one in the am one in the evening. My surgeon also wants me taking some type of acid reducer so I have been taking a 40 mg nexium in the mornings. Apparently an acid reducer is supposed to help with hunger since acid in our stomachs makes us think we are hungry? I'm not sure if that is accurate but it seems to be helping so far!

Ive decided to post all my measurements I have record of below. I have gained a few inches since I last took them, I plan on taking them every 6 weeks once I start exercising!
