  4. @Berry78 I am going to go and get a copy of the report and film and have another look at it for my own peace of mind. Thank you! @Airstream88 I am eating dense foods with no problem at week 5. I am sensing a little fullness but thats it. :-( @klingie84 You will do fine! Prayers for success being sent your way! xoxo @1Day1Life4Now THANK YOU!!!! My doctor did say that after my 3rd time of accusing him of not doing the surgery, and your confirmation makes me feel better. ALOT better. Now I know what to expect. Its still a little upsetting but...hey it is what it is. THANKS GUYS!!!!!
  5. Soooo....I *supposedly* had revision from sleeve to bypass on April 3rd. I started my post op week 5 yesterday. I have only lost 13lbs. I have no restriction and can eat anything. I can chug liquids...no problem. My sleeve had developed into a hiatal hernia and created a pouch that the dr removed. Aside from the pain from the incisions and sutured muscles, I feel nothing. I have asked the dr repeatedly was he sure that he did the bypass and he said yes. I am staying under 1000 calories, low carbs and getting in my protein. My liquids are at about 55oz. I just looked at my Upper GI report from after surgery and I am thinking about calling the radiology dept to confirm that I did indeed have gastric bypass. I have no dumping, no nausea...nothing. My weight has been at the same weight since week 2 post op. It fluctuates daily: 1lb lost one day, 3lb gain the next day, etc. Ireakky just feel like I am on a diet. All of this for nothing!!

  17. @CurvyCakes Yes mam. I started my liver shrink diet yesterday. Surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. My dr didn't give me formal pre-op instructions though. All he said was drink protein shakes. He kept mentioning that this isn't my first rodeo and I know what to do. Now that I think about, I'm not sure how I feel about that...I need some type of direction!! I feel like Im just winging it.

  19. Premier shakes! I have drank almost all types of protein powders/ shakes and in my opinion, Premier by far is the best!! When I had my sleeve, I used Syntrax Nectar and Unjury. For my revisoin surgery, I was approved for the prescription service to receive my protein shakes and they sent 8 cases (18 shakes per case) of the Premier shakes. They are so good!!
