Inizio

I went to a show yesterday and I had plenty of room to spare in the seat!

I had to buy a bathing suit this weekend . . . ugh! I went into the dressing room with one and had to go back out to the rack twice to get smaller sizes. I'm down 45 lbs and I don't think my mind has caught up with the size that I need to be in.

Yay!! Can't wait until I can join you there

I've been taking Colace for a week or so, but it doesn't seem to help. Before surgery, I was on metformin and that caused very loose BMs on a daily basis. After surgery, I was taken off of the metformin and my body is now in the other realm. Constipation is killing me I may try the mineral oil. Thanks for the tip!

I've been walking on the treadmill at home. I was set back with a gout flareup though and have taken a week off. I was just cleared this week for going back to the gym and working with weights. As soon as my foot clears up, I'll be back at the gym!

I went through hair loss with the lapband surgery, even though I took Biotin and got my Protein in. It was very traumatic for me. This time around (after my revision), I'm a little more prepared for it emotionally. I'm 6 weeks post-op, so it hasn't started yet. I'm just dreading the time that it does.

I didn't say anything to my co-workers either and now people are noticing my weight loss (28 lbs so far). I don't want to talk about it at work and I'm cringing at the thought of people asking questions.

I've been using it for quite a while, but it's been acting goofy lately. I just opened the app to add more Water to my diary and was shown a screen that said I had 21,474 calories remaining for the day! It's done that a few times in the last week or so. It eventually resets. Definitely weird though!

I now weigh less than the fake weight I put on my license years ago! Still somewhat scale related, but a big deal

We have very similar stories. I had my revision to RNY a month ago. I'm no longer in pain because of the port, and I can eat without throwing everything up! I also had to go through the entire process again with the prep appointments, but it worked out well because my new practice was so much more thorough than the previous one I was at.

I keep some shelf-stable protein drinks in the closet in my classroom. If I feel like I need something, I'll have one of those. I get the EAS Advantedge lowcarb ones, they're either 100 or 110 calories. Everything else I eat comes in a lunchbag with an icepack.

I revised from lapband to RNY and am only 1 month post-op. Buying clothes along the way to make sure I have properly fitting clothes will be my focus. Savers is my friend!

7 incisions for lapband revision to RNY. The one where my port was taken out is a lot bigger. The others are all small, even the one where my drain was.

Wow, I was kept for 2 nights after the surgery. I was told that they're more cautious with revision patients. I was up and out of bed walking the halls about 4 hours after surgery. I kept getting up and walking. That really helped move the gas. Gas pain was the only real pain I had!

Best of luck! I'm 4 weeks out from revision. It's very different this time around. My recovery was honestly much better for this procedure, not sure why. I feel so much better having that darn port out of me, too!!
