If you research here I beleive that there are lots! I had sleeve to bypass on September 04, 2015. The best decision I could have made. I find it to be much different than the sleeve(in a good way). Good Luck!

Has anyone out there had a revision done from a sleeve to a bypass? I'm scheduled for Wednesday April 6!

The only thing that limits you to only losing 60% of your excess weight is you. I've lost over 100% and am maintaining easily. I eat whatever I want whenever I'm hungry....protein first, then veggies, fruit and whole grains. But I also eat ice cream, desert, bread, alcohol, cake, etc.... just everything in moderation. I do not excercise and I've never tracked or counted or measured my food. I didn't have surgery just to be on a diet the rest of my life. I do make sure I drink at least 64oz of Fluid and I do take my Vitamins (but I've always taken Vitamins, so this is no change)
Other than making much healthier food choices, my life isn't a whole lot different than preop. Unless you count Having a normal BMI, shopping in regular stores for clothes, not being in pain everyday, spending a lot less money on groceries, and being able to hike, climb stairs, etc without getting out of breath, Perhaps I am an anomaly, but I just wanted to let you know that there is more than one way to be successful and postop life does not have to be all that complicated.

I have an October 1 surgery date and like you, I'm having these food funeral feelings as well. I wasn't nervous until I got a date, now, I'm anxious, nervous, excited and everything else.

@@IWannaBeSvelte and @BP'sMamaG - It was absolutely the pain meds. I feel so much better now that I have stopped them completely. I have Tylenol and Ibuprofen on standby if needed I am so happy to be past those first few days (currently on day 6)! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and there is a pair of size 7 jeans waiting there for me!

I have tried the Premier and it was better than the stuff from the surgeons office. I might just drink those next week!

Oh man, lucky break! Only one week! I'm sorry you're having a tough time though.
I think I somewhat knew what to expect with the Protein shakes. It's been my go to Breakfast for a while now (although I would make mine taste awesome with fruit etc).
Our plan allows for a banana so my trick is freezing sliced up bananas and I blend those into my shakes. And a little ice. I find they taste better cold. The frozen banana gives it a milkshake texture and helps it taste a little bit less chemicalish.

Congrats!!! I'm due to be sleeved in 12 days... The anxiety is starting to get me now! I'm not nervous about the procedure, just about how I will feel afterwards.

chew ice

I actually like the cpap first day I haven't been sleepy in along time

Chug a glass of Water when you feel hungry. It will help a little.

I am scheduled for Oct. 7th at 10:00am. My preop visit is tomorrow. My surgeon does not require a presurgery diet.
I am so ready to start my new life. =)

October 2, 2014 will be the date my life will change forever. I so happy!

Hi everyone. My name is kathy and I am two weeks and two days post op. I was sleeved on 02/03/2014. I am 56 yrs old and my beginning stats were 242 lbs on October 1,2013 with a BMI of 47.3, I am only 5 feet tall. I have diabetes, osteoarthritis and COPD. I quit smoking 14 months ago and the next step was the WLS. My goal is to get back to a healthy place so I can finish raising my grandchild.. I was not given a preop diet to follow. I live in Lancaster Ohio and my surgeon is Dr Thomas Sonnanstein at Riverside Methodist Hospital/ Fresh Start Bariatrics. I was completely elated with my weight loss for two weeks which was a bit over 18 bls. I am now in the blended diet and struggling to figure out what consistency my food should be but I will get it. I am determined and now searching for a support group locally. Good luck to all that have already been on their journey or those that are just starting.

Just got my surgery date the other day...10/29! Bring it on!!!

My surgery is scheduled for october 20th and I can't wait! I start the pre-op diet tomorrow...just have my sleep study to complete on Monday.
Good luck to all you!
