Ty Amy n good luck to you. I always say, everything happens for a reason, so don't fret it, your surgery is going to be exactly when it is suppose to be:)) God bless you and get well soon!

I came home on Monday. Praise God! ! Had some very bad bad gas n port pains, soooo very bad, ugh. Still have some but I'm walking, sitting up, using my spirometer. Its been 2 years since I've swallowed wo it getting stuck b4 hitting my sleeved belly. Now after revision to bypass, i feel like a new person, God has been gracious to me and my surgeons are well blessed. I'm 5 days out on liquids, which I'm tired of but hopefully on the 18th, soft foods, so yippie to a small Christmas of soft foods since i had to forego thanksgiving due to 2week preop! Im most excited and thankful. Praying you all are doing well, happy holidays and ty 4 prayers:))

I'm by no means a pro on here but I would love to give it a try if you have no other takers. You can private msg me with more info and how to get the spread sheet. Let me know! Congrats!

I am going to make a post, you may well not like. Call it tough love. It consists of two parts, first. Stop eating more than 800 calories a day. Man the fuck up, and just stop. I eat 600-800 calories a day and am never full, I do get satiated from time to time, but I find ways to distract myself, take a long ass walk. Like 2 hours long, you can't eat if you are an hour away from home in some park.
CONTINUE EATING AS YOU ARE AND YOU WILL DIE.
Part two. Run, better yet, drive, and drive quickly to the hospital that performed your surgery, and refuse to leave until they have solved this problem. It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to eat 3 lean cuisines with a 4 oz pouch. There are really two possibilities, first, a Fistula, secondly the opening from the pouch to your intestine if that junction is too large (it should be roughly 1/2 the diameter of a dime at this stage) you lose the restrictive portion of the surgery. Then, it becomes possible to eat as you have been because the food does not even slow down in your pouch, it just slides right through and you won't feel satiated until you have filled your entire roux limb AND pouch.(and I am not going to do the math but if you have a standard Roux limb it is 150cm long so think of how much food it takes to pack 150cm of garden hose and you get an idea of the volume of food you COULD stuff into yourself) Either of these is a borked surgery that, and I am going to bold this;
YOU PAID FOR. YOU ARE A CUSTOMER. YOUR SURGERY WAS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY, REFUSE TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.
I'm not an asshole, but you have to understand the customer, salesman relationship. You or at least your insurance paid for a service that is defective. Pack a bag and head back to the hospital. Under no circumstances leave until this issue is resolved. Look up the hospitals resources. Call them. Dispute your discharge, just about every hospital has Q A people you can call.
NO EXCUSES, NO COME TO MY OFFICE, NO LET’S MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, FIX THIS AND FUCKING FIX IT NOW, OR YOU ARE LEAVING ME NO CHOICE BUT TO SEEK LEGAL REMEDY.
Sorry for all the cursing, but this has gone on long enough. We cannot help you, only your surgeon can. He already admitted a 'problem' making your pouch, We'll if he has to go back in and unfuck his mistake, that is on him. We have done all we can do, anything more in this post is speculation, you need medical care, and now.
Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

What a huge blessing AND a wonderful Merry Christmas!! CONGRATULATIONS to you and thank you for all that you've done to help the rest of us when you did . GOD Bless y'all! !

The spreadsheet has been updated. Please let me know if I made a mistake or missed your weigh in!
We had a blast at Disney! It was so beautiful and decorated for Christmas! It even snowed in the Magic Kingdom while we were there.
Also, if you have a food allergy, I would highly recommend adding Disney for a vacation spot. My husband has Celiac disease, and they catered to him and he ate like a king all week (and didn't get sick!). We would go back just for that!
I'm still looking for someone to take over the challenges when this one is over. Here's why

CW: 150 thx n welcm bck Stephh
Oh, i made goal for challenge :)I've been in my share of these challenges and this is the 2nd time I've made a gw... Thank God! Sry, keep editing, grr! Please allow me to continue challenge till the end date. ..new GW 145. Thx again!

Had my surgery December 8th, all went well. I was discharged from the hospital on December 10. Gas pains are the only complications I am having along with no appetite whatsoever. I have to force myself to drink liquids. Hope this input helps.

Glad you're doing well, Deezjeanz ! I had to postpone my surgery due to possible pneumonia, but hopefully will be rescheduled for the 23rd or 24the.

@@cocoa8utter I had a "food funeral" for about a month and a half but amazingly I didn't gain or lose weight. I think it's because I kind of starved myself and binged on all the sh** I knew I'd miss. Horrible pattern, I know, but it's over now!!!
@@DeezJeanz Best wishes on your surgery today!!!!!!!!! I hope you have good pain meds and get some great rest! Don't forget to walk when they allow you to.

Hello my Dec pals. I just got home from the revision. It wasn't bad but the gas was/is unreal. It's like carrying knives inside me juggling around. They took out drain, almost fainted, horrible feeling unraveling out of my belly. I continue to pray 4 the rest of you and upcoming and those of us who's done. Glad it's over:)

Hello to all and ty 4 those who prayed for my surgery. I just got home, sw was 156...now 159.4. Gotta love those fluids BUT I'm blessed to have made it threw. Gla

@@DeezJeanz - glad to hear your home!
@ - yay on the insurance approval! As for post-op, I'm on Clear Liquids until my first followup with the surgeon a week later. Then it's full liquids for 3 days, then purees.
I'm almost done with day 6 of this lovely pre-op liquid diet. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. The hard part this week is getting all my work done so I can actually be out of the office for 3 weeks.

I am scheduled for tomorrow as well! Good luck!

Had surgery Friday. Lots of gas pains. But at least the surgery worked for it purpose. PRAISE GOD. I CAN FINALLY SWALLOW W/O reflux or throwing up!!, hope to go home tomorrow. Gla

God bless you all esp those having procedures today. Mine, Lord willing, is Dec 4th, Friday. ..sleeve to gbp revision.

May each one of you, of us be blessed before, during and after our surgeries. I hope to hear from you all and thanks for your support.

Lord willing, my revision surgery is tomorrow. I'd love your prayers, thank you all in advance. And you remain in my prayers!

???? congrats steph!!
