Funny you should mention this. I had a kidney stone two days ago and it was PAINFUL. First one in my life. It sounds like liquids are the answer, but I am having a hard time keeping liquids down...

Well, I am 3 months out and still learning/re-learning how and what to eat. I spend a lot of time in the bathroom with dumping syndrome and it gets a little discouraging.
My blood tests show I...
Hello:
I am in still in the soft foods/pureed stage of my post op diet. I had a revision surgery from Lapband to Sleeve and very happy with the progress I'm experiencing.
HOWEVER, yesterday I...
So I started the pureed foods and baked and pureed some winter squash and potatoes. Added butter and it was so yummy! But could only eat 3 or 4 bites.
Honestly, it was mostly in my mind, as now...
I am on full liquids now. I am enjoying the Carrot Ginger soup and Butternut Squash soup from Imagine Organic Soups. You can find them in the Health food section of most grocery stores.
Very glad I have found this forum and all the wonderful 'sleevers'! I am learning so much from you. Feeling great and ready for new adventures, new routines, new ways of eating 'CLEAN'.
After...
Good morning Libby!
Maybe it is the lapband/sleeve revision thing that lets us drink instead of sip and get more down without discomfort. But look at our weight loss! It isn't hurting us at all!...
Yes! I like Dr Ortiz but he is a bit of a 'showboat', whereas Dr. Martinez is a wonderful, down-to-earth doctor and very kind.
Hi! Honestly, it was the same recovery: after the lapband, I was out gardening 3 days later, after the revision, I was out in the garden 3 days after I got home. And that is after 10 years of...
Hi! I just turned 60 and had a revision surgery in Mexico at the same time: 7 days ago! Feel GREAT! I did it for the same reasons as you--I want to be more active, more normally-weighted and less...
Hello:
A week ago I had revision from lapband to gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana with Dr Ariel Ortiz. I am happy to say I am home with no pain, no gas, no fatigue, no issues.
I was on 5...
I am heading down to the store right now and pick up broccoli!
AKKK, since I am a revision patient, I just have to drink the shakes, no greens. Booooo
I think I have the jitters. I should adhere to the pre-op diet and let my fatty liver take its course. Yes, NO ALCOHOL. Haha! I just won a Booze Basket at a fundraiser with GALLONS of booze. It...
Good Idea Pam! I was going to do a cleanse to clean the 'filters' this week. Yes, the nuts and fruit were a great comfort, but not again before the surgery.
Thank you Sandra. Those are encouraging words. I've got the nerves going! Gah!
Thank you Kindle. Yes, I believe it was 5%. I had a Lapband done with Dr Ortiz 10 years ago and I don't recall a pre-op diet at all and I SAILED through that and was gardening 2 days later. So...
I want to hear all! Keep me posted! And great success to you!
Thank you Secret Sleever! Love your name. I see you are doing the surgery tomorrow! And lost 42 pounds. You are fabulous.
I am one week away from surgery in Mexico. I was instructed for liquids only the last two weeks before the surgery and it has been so difficult! I break down and have a handful of nuts and dried...
I have not tried Kyani. I am currently doing Gematria's lasered Ultramins, because I know the guy and I believe in the technology. But I also like the idea of patches from PatchMD for post op. ...
Thank you! BLOVE2012, I will be very interested in your progress and post op from Dr. Ortiz. He did my lapband 10 years ago and I was gardening the day after I got home with no issues, or 'gas'...
Hello from Anacortes, WA! I have a scheduled REVISION surgery (lapband to sleeve) with Dr Ariel Ortiz on Sept 27 and really looking forward to it.
What I am a little nervous about is his pre-op...
