Hi everyone... I am at saladworks for lunch , having a salad with carrots, beans, egg, cheese and a whole wheat roll. I find it's a great place to eat when you're on the run , they have vegan/vegetarian soups too . Hope you're all doing well . I love to hear about what everyone is eating . Gives me great ideas.

Sounds good ... I had a bean and brown rice with veggies burrito for dinner tonight . Ate 3/4 of it , how bout you? What did u have for dinner? Love to get new ideas

Yes I'd love to chat

Hi , I am scheduled for May 30 th for a revision from sleeve to possibly RNY , and I am a vegetarian . Have been for about 5 years . I do eat fish , almond milk, cheese, eggs. So I'm not Vegan . But I do not consume chicken , pork, beef etc. when is your surgery scheduled for? Where are you from?

I meant honey doll sry stupid correct spell! Lol

Hello Hineydoll3 ... when are you scheduled for? Who's your surgeon? I'm in nj . Where you from. Hope u don't mind all the questions. I would love to be resleeve buddy's . I'm torn between the bypass and sleeve. Right now I've been approved to be resleeved and I see my dr on May 1rst to talk more about it . Scheduled for May 30th . I'm so scared as I can't find too many people with resleeves. Do you know what bougie was used on your original sleeve? I'm so happy you wrote me. PLEase keep in touch.

I'm in south jersey and looking into a revision from sleeve to bypass . Anyone else going thru this or similar?

Anybody been resleeved? Looking to connect and for some hopefully positive feedback and advise .

Thank you for your good wishes for me . I'll have to check with my insurance . I'm so happy for you that you are doing so good and so much healthier . That's fantastic!! Congrats to you! Keep up the great work.

He did an upper gi and said the surgeon who did it made the sleeve too big , I had done out of state and a different surgeon is now following me .

Hello everyone.. Dec 12,2014 I had the sleeve done , I lost 50 lbs total , I am still 100 lbs overweight at 5"4 and 245lbs . My Dr and I have talked about revision to a bypass , but I would like to know if anyone did this and lost a lot more weight, also if your insurance covered the 2nd surgery.

Hello all, I am 9 months out from having the sleeve and down 55 lbs and have been the same weight for 6 mths or so. I'm seriously considering having the bypass surgery since my weight loss has been a minimal even though I am doing the best I can. My stats are started at 293lbs. current weight is 237lbs. goal weight 150lbs I would love to know if anyone has had and then had the RNY afterwards and if you were successful with losing the rest of the weight. I know youre all wondering if I've done all that I was supposed to do to be successful with the sleeve and for the most part I have. Thanks in advance for any feedback

Please someone tell me what calories you are consuming . I've only lost 55 lbs since 12/12/14 and that includes my preop weight loss????

It's totally normal to be scared I'm 13 days post op and was sooooo scared I cried all the way as they wheeled me to the preop room but I knew it was going to save my life , I have no regrets and never once did. Was a breeze. You will be just fine. Must be brave, cry if you need to and definatly ask for some relaxation meds to calm down it helped me. I only wish I did this 20 yrs ago !

Yes I too dream about food and I'm 13 days post op. Dream I'm pigging out and wake in a panic too . Lol

I'd love to hear from everyone who's surgeon used a 40f bougie to make your sleeve and how much weight you've lost??

I have been keeping track of everything on my fitness pal And I get all my fluids I too . The entire purpose of having this surgery is to be able to physically have that feeling between your ribs of restriction so you know when to stop . I'm telling you I don't have it , therefore I am in the same boat as before surgery . I am certainly trying but when there's no difference what can I do then it's just another failed diet where I can't control the portion as usual. Why did everyone have this surgery ... So you feel full!

Hi all, I am only eating baby food fruits, puréed soups, bariatric oatmeal thinned w milk, protien shakes, and yogurt. I add unflavored protien powder to everything which ups the calories. I'm so scared this just didn't work for me. If I could control my portion size I wouldn't have needed the surgery. I feel the same as I did prior to surgery. No restriction at all. I know I shouldn't have done this today but I ate a whole banana to see if I'd feel any thing and nada!!! I could've eaten another. Please tell me this isn't happening !

Hi , I'm 9 days out and feel no restriction, eaten 1100 cal so far today and still hungry , all puréed foods. I'm extremely upset , waited 10 mths for this to have a chance to be normal and now feel like I've failed again!!

Anybody out there who's surgeon uses a 40 bougie? How is your restriction and weight loss?

Oh btw my stats are weight 292 5'4 47 yrs old female

Hi I've done all my preops Started in February and had a surgery date in October but backed out from nerves. Now I have a date of Dec 12 and I'm ready to back out again !! I am so undecided , I cannot make up my mind! Driving myself crazy! Here's a little about my situation ... I'm in a very bad marriage of 18 yrs that is on the verge of ending but we are living together for our. 3 kids , on top of that husband is non supportive of surgery. I've already lost 1/2 my hair during the past 10 yrs and Drs. still trying to figure out why. I am extremely attached to the hair I have left which I may lose if I have this surgery. I'm scared if I have complications my husband will bail on me, since he's already said he wants to separate although he says to go do it if I want and that he's not in a rush to divorce yet. I am completely dependent on him as a home maker with 3 kids, I'm worried I may regret the surgery but I've tried for 20 yrs to lose this weight with no success. So I know I need this drastic change but it seems my situation says damned if I don't damned if I do! Please I really need some sound advise without criticism , I'm already pretty down. Thank you in advance for your input .
