Cut the carbs, white flour and starches out. The more of the stuff you eat the worse you smell and more gas you get.

Greetings from VA. I'm a full week today post op. The soreness has worn off just a little tender. Still trying to finger out how much I can tolerate in drinking and how fast I can drink, haven't mastered that yet!. I'm concerned I'm not getting enough protein, how did y'all get that 50grams of protein in in the first couple of weeks?
Hi simone! Our stats are similar! I'm 5'3, about 225lbs, I take bp meds, and am borderline diabetic! I had the lapband done in 2005 and was very successful for a while. About 2.5- 3 years into it, weightloss stopped and it took over 3 years of hardcore research onthe internet for me to reach the manufacturers of my band and to be told about a recall due to slow leak development. Fastforward to today, I need to have my lapband removed because it has broken inside of me in2 places. I have been hesitantly contemplating a revision to the sleeve but very worried about developing complications similar to what I experienced with the band, not to mention, I would be soooo depressed if I were to have revision surgery only to be unsuccessful. Glad to hear your revision has proven successful. Gives me hope :)
Welcome! I was sleeved 7/18/15. I'm down 31 pounds and medication free. Best decision I ever made! Good luck!!
Sleeve was my choice. I'm 5'3 and weighed 234. I was sleeved 7/18/15. I'm now 204 and I hope to lose about 64 more pounds. I love my sleeve. I had High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea (CPAP Machine) and was borderline diabetic. I no longer BP meds and I dont sleep with my CPAP machine. It's the best decision I made! Good luck with your decision!!
I have complete confidence in you. You will do just fine.

Thanks Cassandra B. I'm thinking RNY b/c of diabetes and thinking SLEEVE b/c I don't have a whole lot of weight to lose. My Dr. said that I could also put my diabetes into commission with the sleeve as well. My appetite has grown and I need to get that under control.
Hi! Congratulations on your journey! I just had my surgery and am in Portland too! It would be great to be able to support each other, especially since we're in the same town! I'm new to this site too :)
