My revision was exactly 3 weeks ago actually. August 31st. Are you eating foods high in carbs? I'm sticking to low carb high Protein purees and noticed that I'm not getting the glucose highs and lows anymore. That might help you. Also, I limit my Protein drinks as I noticed those were giving me symptoms of dumping, which might mean they are high in sugar and carbs. I stopped taking the shakes for a week, but will try again when I hit 4 weeks because I need the Protein.
Rather than apply juice, why not just try crystal light? Its sugar free but still sweet. I sometimes add it to my Water just to give a hint of flavour.

Wow 7 in 7 months, I'm so sorry you went through all that and hopefully the RNY solves it for you. Looks like this group is growing. I thought the sleeve would become the new "gold standard" and yet here we all are.

Hi everyone,
I haven't been on here in months till I got a notification a few minutes ago in my e-mail. Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.
I'm one of the success stories. I had my revision August 31st 2013, almost a year ago, and hit my goal weight by new years day. I've been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds since then and as we speak I'm 1 pound below goal. No pain in my tummy, I eat small but satisfying portions and I don't have any health issues. I'm so happy I did the revision
It's such a relief after the failure that my sleeve was. I should have just done the bypass in the first place.

Hello ladies,
I'm 1 week post op from from revision to bypass... also looking for support. There are so few of us and its been difficult to find people that have gone through the same experience.

You are so right that the hunger doesn't go away with bypass like it did with sleeve. I'm still on purees and I eat 3-4 ounces every 3 hours that I'm awake (yes I weigh the food. I don't want to risk eating too much for my punch). Then I wait 30 minutes and then I'm continuously sipping Water for the next 2 hours which keeps the hunger pangs away. then I stop drinking for another 30 minutes and by then time its time to eat my next meal, I'm hungry again.
That works for me, but I'm sure others have other tactics that work for them.
My sleeve also failed partly because I wasn't following all the rules so this time I'm following them to the letter.

Hey,
Just checking on you. How are you doing after your surgery yesterday? I hope they were finally able to fix what was wrong this time.
