Absolutely I take full responsibility for stretching out my stomach! I made poor choices in year 3,4,5 and totally regret it! I did have some serious life issue come along the way but in the end it was all my fault! Just want people to know it can happen if your not careful. Measuring and tracking is vital!

What's your goal weight? My surgeon didn't give me one, though maybe we will talk about it at our appointment next week. I just picked something, though I'm not sure I want to be that weight if I don't have curves and an apple bottom.

I appreciate the kind words of encouragement. I’ve lost about 15 lbs since surgery (and nearly 60 total since the beginning of November). I decided to take my wife to dinner this evening. I had about 4 ozs of Soup and feel about 1000% better about life. It was so nice just feeling “normal” again.

I just got re-sleeved February 27, six days postop I have pictures that my doctor took. He stated I was almost the size of a regular stomach. It can be done. I’m not proud about it but the truth is I am a perfect example of what can happen. For some reason everyone thinks that it’s not possible

Yea, my dr had a pre-op class, post-op class, 30 day & 60 day - it's awesome and my hubby goes with so he knows about it too. I kinda ready for some food to chew.

I had the same issue after my surgery for a few months. My body Fluid all smelled terrible too. I couldn't stand myself. The good news is that it goes goes away after a while and that terrible smell is a sign you're burning fat. I still burn fat, but I don't have the odor. I think it's because I upped my calories.

ladydeenj reacted to DDUKES in Sleeved Twice??
Part of my thoughts have been....okay your surgery was successful....no complications or issues. So what caused the weight gain has been my first question of course. I really think it has been a combination of things, but I can honestly say it hasn't been from overeating. Stress, getting older, lack of time to be more active. I'm sure that doesn't sound believable, but it's the truth. So how will being resleeved help? I guess I just want a second chance to get and KEEP it right.
And it's funny, because I remember doing the Pre-Op diet and saying to myself...this is all mental. You can do this and not even have the surgery. After surgery we all know that its STILL work, but it's all mental and breaking bad habits.
So as I'm typing this and giving myself a reality check....it may very well NOT be the surgery that I need.

Same! I was on 2/28. I've found that walking and standing helps. I'll just stand and watch tv. Also liquid Tylenol has been helpful. I'm sure these pains are totally normal. Recovery sucks but it will be so worth it in a month best of luck!

Talk to your surgeon's office. You likely have no issues, but it is something they need to know and discuss with you. Keeping hydrated and eating is critically important to your health and progress!
