Hope you feel better.. you got this!
I’m headed for the same, revision and surgery, this coming Wednesday.
I think they’re repairing my hernia. It’s umbilical. With mesh I think they said.
I have a high tolerance for pain so I’m hoping I’m okay with it this time around. Two C Sections and a gastric sleeve, few other surgeries along the way too, I’ve been okay.
I’m worried this time around ... between the virus and this liquid diet. I feel horrible today. I hope it’s nothing and why I feel so off today.

Have your thyroid checked. A lot of times when it is slightly swollen it will cause you to cough ,or "choke" or have. a hard time swallowing. Even fluids can do this. This happened with both my parents long before the thyroid started to "bulge" out of the neck. It was hypothyroidism. I hope this helps and I pray that this is just a fluke and don't cause you any further issues. Good Luck 🙏

I had gerd preop and they put rnyers here on gerd 40 mg daily already so just what you are already doing plus i try not to eat too close to laying down. If you want a luxury item get a wedge pillow for bed 😁

I think everyone wants validation and want help with this journey.
I am unsure - I know I've spoken to him in the past but I really was joking!!
I can't be so serious this whole time -- it's a lot to learn all over again being revised than sleeved... It really wasn't a choice I wanted but I had too, I'm too young to suffer for another 30-40 years and would rather do it now, but ... with that said, and like I said above, I think everyone wants some help with this and some maybe, just maybe, are a bit touchy LOL
Maybe he needs to be validated

You're a great ray of hope Mickey! thanks!
Be gone with yourself, please don't post anything on my posts anymore - I'll find a way to block you.
Always one in a crowd - you've been a jerk to others too! keep scrolling!

I will call or email on Monday.
I don’t think it’s acid not a hernia.

I feel like I have a lump In the back of my throat the last 5-6 days.
no heartburn no acid
what could it be?
esophogus full!? Didn’t chew enough?
im drinking fine. Nothing is stopping it from going down. I’m eating.

Yay!!
overturned today. I’m moving forward

You're so touchy!!! You come across as sooooo rude and a know it all... We are all in this together!
This your first surgery - bypass - or were you revised - she was revised and has different mind set maybe and her surgeon or nutritionist might have different ways of doing bariatric diets - not all are the same - I'm a revision and on my 3rd week - I'm up to oatmeal and farina and pureed - even though I had a hold up last week - they told me to pick up where I left off - You are also in Aussie and I believe their medical practices are probably different from where she is from - you can't come across as rude, well you can - but maybe take a step back before you post - we are all very sensitive, trying to do the right thing - learning as well as we can... Okay -I'm off my soap box now

OMY!!

Yes try different shakes until you find there right one

Fairlife milk has 13 grams of protein and PB Fit has 8 so that's 21 grams. You should try it, its really good.

Fairlife milk and 2 scoops of PB Fit . I only use 1 scoop of PB Fit but I think a serving is 2 ? Greek yogurt some brands have 15 grams of Protein. Have you ever tried protein Water ?
Hope you are getting to move forward now with all that you have been through.

Morning! What do you think?
(Back story - sleeve 2015, revised to RNY due to GERD and two hernias. Revised 5/27/20, was fine and had a complication. “twisting” and had reflux.... vomiting bile and bowel 🤮 on 6/6. Opened up again 6/8. Lasted 2 days home from hospital and had to be revised 6/17. Moved first revision to mid intestines, surgeon claims.
One scare Sunday night. Thinking I had a bad Protein Shake and vomitted but wasn’t the same
Bile reflux.)
My abdominal wall is on constant fire. I know it’ll get better. Being opened up 3x in 3-4 weeks isn’t fun! Same incisions too plus a few more.
I cannot or don’t want too drink or eat. No desire... I know I have too.
Horrible taste in my mouth. D
Gross. shakes are like death this time around. I used to love many different kinds. No way now. Popsicle ice pops repeat on me. Dye related maybe?
What to do!? I have to get something in.
Water has been an issue for me for years with the sleeve. Now I dont wanna touch it. Gatorade tastes 🤮

Hope everyone is well!!! 🙂

Try freezing your liquid and eating ice- one ounce at a time. Your body is screaming 'trauma' and needs time to rest.

I’m trying. I had a shake for lunch and it tasted funny. vanilla fairlife with a half scoop of Isopure Cookies and cream and after ten minutes felt sick and now I have an acid taste in my throat. Now I’m nervous. Omg. No. Don’t even tell me

I’ll
Lose
It !!!

Today is my 1 month post op revision to bypass. I am weighing in at 167.8 .
It seems that I am a dumper on processed foods. If the main ingredient is a processed carb I am done for. We went to Cracker Barrel for Breakfast the morning of the wedding and I had bacon and a biscuit and gravy, 45 min later I was dying and praying to God to help me out so I would be okay for the wedding, sigh. FYI the biscuit was very small and about 100 calories and melted in my mouth I was so happy just to be able to eat it.
I go to the Dr. tomorrow for my appointment with lots of questions I will be writing down today.

Congratulations! You look so beautiful. Praying you stay well and healthy.

Acid taste or more metallic taste?

Just got back from my sons wedding. We had a nice time. Lots of comments that I am too thin and don't need to lose anymore weight. I am weighing the same as I did all last summer and into this past Feb, before Covid .

I am weighing in at 170.4 this morning. I haven't had any more bathroom issues since I stopped taking the bariatric45. The Flinestones chewable have 36 Iron. ( I take 2 ) I am wondering if the bariatric45 wasn't dissolving maybe? I will talk to the Dr about it on Tuesday for my 1 month checkup.
I had 3 oz of beef filet last night without any issues. I measure and weigh food but rarely finish, when I belch I stop eating since I don't feel the food most of the time.
I don't have much desire to eat . I find myself eating so I can take Vitamins more then anything.
My son is getting married this weekend so I am looking forward to seeing all 3 of my kids together again ! It has been 5 years since we all were together which means I weighed 300 lbs the last time !

I said the same thing! I had a strep test about 2 months ago and it was horrid. I almost threw up on my doctor!

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry you've had to go through this. It sounds like a nightmare, but hopefully this fixes the issue and you're on the way to recovery! Just take things easy and please keep us updated.

Hi. I’m home as of Friday afternoon. Had a really bad two days in the hospital. The lacerations are more and deeper and they took the beginning of my intestines where the revision was. He felt moving it mid intestines was the best option. It was the “y” area of the RNY that was giving me an issue and was flipping or twisting. So he moved it dead center on my small intestine. So far I’m okay. No bile vomit and nausea. Horrendously sore. My abdominal wall is a mess for sure.
I had some bottom end issues as I think i was stopped up and gassy. Surgeon said use an enema today. So far so good. Had to move stuff out. It was horrendous. Worse then giving birth and felt like I was giving birth from there hahahahah
Otherwise so far so good. Ty so very much for thinking of me. It’s so appreciated.

Obstructions do make you vomit, personally I'd get it done just because I wouldn't want to risk a full obstruction.
Bless you must be awful, big virtual hugs x
